I love the winter colours and the shapes of those bare trees, the furrows creating the lines and of course the mountains. Smashing image Mike.

  Thank you very much. This was shot yesterday off a dirt road not far from my house.

The sky is near periwinkle blue, Mike. And that makes all the difference. Makes me a) want to be there, and b) wonder how far off the mountains are — how long a walk…..?

  The foothills are 20 miles, the tall snow capped mountains are closer to 60 miles. Long walk, but doable for sure. Bring a heavy coat and water.
  Thank you Frank.

Nice panoramic shot. I guess I may have to post a front range shot from down here. 🙂

Great image, Mike! (am I showing my bias for color and landscapes over old barns and farm equipment?)

  Thanks Gunta. Yes, I know what your preferences are but you can count on a steady diet of what I am most drawn to……rust, rot, texture, and time.

Gorgeous. Makes me wish my youngest son still lived out that way so I’d have a good excuse to visit. 🙂

  Thanks. Our son used to live in Florida and that was nice to visit in the winter. Now he is back in Denver and that is even nicer.

  The mountains get snow, some years much more than others.
