The beautiful mountains, hills, and hoodoos around Blue Mesa Reservoir, west of Gunnison, Colorado.

The rock formation in image #6, #7, #8, #9, & #11 is called Dillon Pinnacles.

That's it! I couldn't remember. Thanks, Douglass; I have labeled them accordingly.

They were awesome. I especially liked the 8 and 9 Dillon Pinnacles. The striations in the rock formations were very cool. Thanks for sharing. Bill

Thank you so much, Bill and cntry.

I needed some boats out there, to give everything perspective! It's so much vaster than a picture can ever show. But the lake was mostly bereft of any watercraft. There's a boat in #17; hard to see unless you click 'Download'. We have sometimes driven past the Blue Mesa when it is all a-litter with sailboats. Such a pretty sight! But boats or no boats, the scenery is amazing.
