Engineer Peak
Engineer Peak resides over layers of trees in the Fall of 2015.
Fire and Ice
The fall colors and freshly fallen snow was so special. Around every turn of the road was another amazing scene to explore.
Snow and Fog
Low hanging clouds, freshly fallen snow and majestic peaks of Colorado's San Juan Mountains. This color photograph is almost monochrome and flies in the face of the fact it was peak Fall color in the area.
Yellow Flame
A couple different species of aspen go off at the same time.
Roadside Chapel
I got stuck in a couple construction stops during my time south of Ouray on the Million Dollar Highway in southwestern Colorado. I never did make it up to Yankee Boy Basin like I wanted to due to road closures. This photograph was quickly taken on a construction stop where I was moving in between the stops. I had to take at least one decent shot down the valley and paused to squeeze off a couple frames. The elevated view and bend in the road provided my only opportunity to capture this visual rapture. The people waiting on the other side didn't seem to mind the extra delay, thankfully. It was hard to be in a hurry. Church was in session.

Weather Warrior
A pine stands alone against the world.
Colorado Forest Access Road
The problem with roads is not having the time to take every one of them. This is just off the highway with fog rising off the blacktop. A road like this provides access to the forests, basins and mountaintops.
A Mixed Couple
Aspen and pine trees intermingle in the San Juan mountains.
