    Well you know….I see something I like, and I shoot it. Any decisions I make are intuitive….no real consideration of anything, other than composition and light. Thanks!

I hate to sound like one of my granddaughters (well, not really, but they are having a terrible influence on me), but… OMG. Stunning, Mike. Just stunning. I wish I could walk right into that scene.

Sometimes, when I think of moving away from Colorado, I see a photo like this and wonder how I could leave. I’ve been here all my life, and those mountains become a part of you — they guide you, and their presence is reassuring. Really nice shot!

  Thanks John. I have lived in Colorado since ’72, with 2 brief excursions elsewhere. I always came back. The cool summer evenings are the big draw for me. There is no more comfortable or beautiful place in America.
  Thanks for the comment.
