Now we are talking! I think we have found the amazing colors Colorado is known for.
Yesterday we moved to Ouray, Colorado – what a beautiful town! I’m sure I will be posting photos of it eventually. But, the trees around here are far healthier, looking great, and at or near peak. The next few days should be a whirlwind – stormy weather is in the forecast, we need to cover as much ground as possible as this might be a wonderful, but small window of opportunity.

Incredible! Makes me want to crawl into that photo so i can be there. WOW!
Holly cow! Now were talking. Beautiful location Ron, I wish I had a view like that to look at everyday. Just incredible!
Ron,
You should come up to Telluride if you get a chance, it’s a great little town. Colors are peak right now but with this weather they might go quick!
Damn Sweet shot, Ron. OK – am envious now. 🙂
This is a very beautiful scene Ron and looks like it would be a great place to at.

Funny, shortly after Ryan wrote his comment, we had the pleasure of meeting him at Kate’s in Ridgeway – glad you recognized me it was fun talking with you. Great place for breakfast by the way.

Thanks Brenda!
This is as good as fall landscapes get! Awesome find Ron.R
Holy cow, Ron! This is insanely gorgeous! What dramatic conditions and it certainly appears to be peak colors. Keep ’em comin’.
If I did not say it before somewhere else, absolutely beautiful. I love low angle light coming underneath dark clouds!

Thanks!
Hey Ron,
The meadow b/n the foreground and the background really makes this feel differently to a more standard ‘fall color in the forest and mtn shot’ .. and, of course, some killin’ light.
Looks like a great trip man .. travel safe, and get ready to wax ’em up when you get home. 🙂
Cheers
Carl

Would you consider taking on a project of photographing all of Colorado’s 14ers? I collect postcards and have only found those of 33 of the 54 to date. Bet you could sell a bunch, especially if you had them from lower elevations, near the tops and from the tops! Let me know if you ever do it.

Thanks for the suggestion – maybe one day.
Yeah, it would be a long project. I keep hoping someone will do it. A lot of people climb all of the 14ers and I think there would be a market for them. Drives me crazy when the postcards don’t identify the mountains . . . and of course sometimes they are misidentified.
When I sent that request I was going through your photos quickly and thought you lived in Colorado. Do you live in Seward? What a spectacular state Alaska is, for sure! Lots of wildlife and wonderful wildflowers like here in Colorado. I miss the wildlife when we’re in Sedona and the ancient ruins when we’re here in Colorado. We’re so lucky to have both.

Hi Joni,
Yeah, we live in Seward, Alaska. This was my first visit to Colorado except for a family trip as a 10 year old. It was beautiful, I enjoyed seeing a photographing the area!
I have been to Sedona a few times – that area is equally as beautiful in a very different way. You are very lucky to have both!
Thanks for the comments!
Ron
I absolutely love this! I loved living in Colorado! This would look great on my living room wall! But first I have to look at all your other pictures before I decide…thinking of a big, big, the biggest you can do! 🙂
