Colorado Gold--Part IV
Oct 28, 2021 11:06:57 #
On this morning, starting out early and with temps at freezing, we headed to the upper end of Gothic Road. Arriving near the pass, we waited for the sun to light up the mountaintops, all the while chilled to the bone. We knew the heater in the vehicle was working, yet we were getting a cold draft none the less. Upon going to the tailgate to get our equipment out, we realized the back glass was down!! None of our previous rental cars had ever had a glass that could be rolled down, only a tailgate that had to be raised. I don't think my fingers ever warmed up that morning--at least, that's the excuse I'll use if all my images aren't tack sharp, as I really didn't want to linger in the cold any longer than it took to get the shot! But I did have fun watching for any beaver ponds that might offer up some reflections of the sunlit mountaintops.

Well done, regardless of creature discomforts.

Fine set! Worth the discomfort.
Thanks so much, Quixdraw. It was full of the WOW factor visually, not so sure I have the skills to convey what I saw effectively--but sure is fun trying!

Glad you like that one, Karin--I felt like a contortionist trying to get it because it was at the top edge of a bank and I had no where to kneel behind it, lol.
