A trip out west, for me anyway.
Here's a couple of pictures I've taken out at the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Grand Canyon. Taken with the Nikon D700, which by the way is an awesome camera because of its sensor's color rendition. It was one of those times when smoke was in the air from all the fires out in California in 2015. At least something good came out of the smoke.
I've waited hours in the cold at Rocky Mountain National Park for the sun to get down to a low angle, just before blue hour. I've tried to take this shot again recently but traveling with friends sometimes results in them not having patience to wait for that shot. I think their stomachs had other ideas and is more powerful than the brain. I'll try again later when I'm alone.
The Grand Canyon shot was another one of those where I had to wait for the sun to go down. But having a folding chair and a glass of wine made that quite pleasant. Plus the air temperature was quite comfortable.
The last shot was taken just west of Cheyenne Wyoming in the Sherman mountains. Again waiting for the sun to go down and plenty of smoke in the air to give it that effect.

Landscape photography tends to be a very lonely occupation. Sometimes that is a good thing.
Excellent work presented here. I am particularly impressed by the third image.
Those are fantastic shots!
Those three shots are beautiful and of excellent quality. Given a choice the first one caught my eye with the beautiful light.
I'll even out the voting by saying my favorite is #2. Cool-tone colors and soft repeating lines. Magical!
All are marvelous representations of the importance of light.
Nice work there, Chris! All these are nice, and the first image is my winner.
