Twilight on Big Mesa

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 31, 2013458 views24 comments

Another from this last fall. My tripod head was almost melting from friction as I kept spinning to try and catch the great light in 4 different directions during this sunset.

C&C always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

Wonderful sky light and aspen glow. The larger view gives a better sense of the majesty of the peaks. I love the line of aspen
across the front and up the hill. As usual great mountain scenic. Chet

Morris, the intensive colors in your image convey the atmosophere of this autumn scene impressively to me. Regarding the composition, I like how the verticals of the trunks are repeated by the ones in the rocks.

Thanks, everyone!

Thanks, Stan. I was very blessed with the conditions I had just about everywhere I went. I probably will be posting Fall shots until next Fall.

And, I sent you an email. Let me know if you get it.

I really like the soft glow of the aspens and how it's mimicked in the warm sky. The strong cliff in between pulls those two parts together well.
