Truly awesome Mike!!! Right when I think I don't like B/W. You show these beautiful shots. They are so great you don't even think about color!

Thank you very much Erv. Not many people like B&W. I think it's a different generation. I was in the hospital for 3 days, had a heart attack so if you don't see anymore of my postings you know where I am.

And it wasn't necessary to carry a 4x5 camera and heavy tripod around boulder fields. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Back in the early 80's I would carry my Nikon FM and FE's and several lenses in my backpack around the Colorado Rockies. I had to decide between food or camera gear. I cut back on the food. Dandelion leaves make a tasty salad with a little salt and pepper and some salad dressing that I carried in old film containers. I had two sets of tops. One solid and one pierced to make a shaker. Needless to say, I didn't have to worry about gaining weight. I would sometimes spend five days straight on the trails in RMNP. You don't see a lot of folks after a mile or two in. :thumbup:

I had intended to climb Long's Peak but ran out of time there. A little thing like a job ruined my fun. :roll: :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup: Here's a shot of Long's Peak with a cloud cover over the peak. I need to rescan it. A bit dusty.

Thanks for the pic, a seldom seen view from the 'back side'. Yes, work is the curse of the drinking class! :lol:

From where I worked in Denver while going to school I could see Long's Peak to the North and Mt. Evans to the West. The Long's Peak shot was from Trail Ridge Road I believe. I would usually go up through Estes Park and come out near Grand Lake I believe. It's been many years. I've been out to Colorado a few times on ski trips and enjoy every minute of it.
