Trouble On the Horizon

Get ready for a Black & White onslaught. Just got back from an incredible trip to Boulder, Colorado, where my sister Laura and her boyfriend Tyler reside. I wasn't thrilled with the color composition in some of my photos, but found that the deep contrast was perfect for B&W. I took this shot on my first day there, having driven through Estes Park and up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. I parked the car on the road's shoulder and hiked about 2 miles along the Ute Trail. On my way back to the car, some extremely dark storm clouds rolled in from the West, making the sky on the horizon much darker than the sunlit path in front of me. My superwide lens allowed me to get the caran, path, and mountain range into the frame.

More to come soon. Longs Peak is next!

Great pic, Dan. I was pretty sure that you'd get some good ones up there, as the view is incredible. Can't wait to see the Long's Peak pics - even if there aren't many. Glad you were successful - and you and Tyler made it safely!
