10,000 ft. and 13 below

It was one of those mornings that are so cold that frost forms all over the outstide of your camera body and lens, and even with gloves on, the cold of the tripod legs pierces through. Worth every minute.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

A beautiful sunset vista, Morris! That's some amazingly strong color reflection on the snow. I'm guessing it was a fairly long exposure.

Thanks, Gary. It was 15 seconds, if I remember correctly.

Beautiful image Morris, the light is amazing and I really like the footprints heading off into the distance.

Beautiful colors, and I really like the way the tracks lead the eye into the image. I feel cold just looking at it!
