Gee looks like I haven't posted in a while, whoops, of course I have been able to get out only once since the last time I posted, and that was a quick drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. The above is of Baker Mountain in the western part of the park. I took this at a pull-off just pass the entrance to the park, I took it late in the afternoon, it was difficult getting just the right lighting, especially on the mountain. Clouds were blocking the sun from shining on the mountain and most of the time it was completely in shadow, there were only a couple of points where there were spots of sunlight shining on the peak which was what I wanted, but I also wanted the long shadows in the foreground as well so there were only a couple of chances to get it and this photo above is the best one.
after getting the photo that I wanted I started photographing other subjects in the park.
The above photo was in the park taken after the mountain shot. It shows signs of spring as the stream is starting to thaw out and run freely. The trees if you notice are dead, a common problem in Colorado with the majority of the states lodge pole pines have been killed due to a pine beetle infestation
