Salida

One of my favorite places to visit in Colorado for multiple reasons including photography. These were from a short trip to the area to ski Monarch this weekend.

Thank you. I'm a little perturbed with myself as I saw the colors developing and scrambled to find a better viewpoint to capture them. By the time I got here they had faded quite a bit from 10 min prior...live and learn.

Beautiful set! #3 for me. Love the balance/symmetry of the mountains and the matte colours.

Very nice set, my fav. is #2. I like how the clouds are sweeping down and creating all that drama.

Thanks all. Funny the 3 "votes" were all for one each of the photos....almost like photography is somewhat subjective.

Thanks. It was a really odd downspout/cloud formation, saw it and had to pull over and find a viewpoint to shoot it from.

Great set and No 2 for me as well because of the upsurging clouds.
