North Rim Grand Canyon

 

North Rim 
Grand Canyon

Fall 2020 , Sunset at the North Rim Grand Canyon.

I barely made it before sunset. Some colorful aspens up the road had my attention. I had been here once before in 2014 so a return trip was due. The remoteness of the North Rim makes it far less crowded than the popular South Rim. It is just as epic and well worth the visit, Sunrise or Sunset.

Went for a more low contrast less saturated look as the original was just a bit overwhelming. 

Sure I'll return sometime in the near future.

Young Aspens North of Grand Canyon

 

In the Fall of 2020 while traveling to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, I noticed these bright aspens. Much of the surrounding forest had been charred from recent wildfires. The aspens that had taken hold were all very close in size and color. The bright gold colors contrasting with the dark forest remains, made for quite a few photos. In fact I barely made it in time for sunset at the North Rim

Even though this shot has many distracting foreground elements. I like the composition. Normally I would remove such things in post. This time Mother Nature wins out.

Cabin with Aspens

Cabin with Aspens
Near Mt. Crested Butte Colorado
Late September 2019

On the way between Mt. Crested Butte and Gothic, this off season cabin was a nice shot that you just had to stop and capture. Shot from a distance using a telephoto lens. The Cabin, Aspens, and Green Hillside all say Fall in Colorado.

Telluride Ski Resort

Telluride Ski Resort
September 2019

In the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, Telluride is one of the most scenic ski towns in the country. 
This sunset shot was taken from across the valley at the end of the airport runway. May have to return come snow season for a classic wintertime post card shot.

Purple Mountain

Berthoud Pass Colorado
September 2019

Taken during late twilight with a fast lens. This shot was actually handheld, pushing the limits of camera and lens. The limited visible light made for a great shot of a purple mountain high in the Rockies.

Taken from Tunnel View just as an afternoon rain shower passed thru the valley. This is the same location as the two pics from earlier in the week.
