More hard drive treasure hunting...
Here's a shot from the road up to Clear Lake, looking south up S. Mineral Creek and Rolling Mountain last August.

And here's one from a mid-July backpacking trip in the Flat Tops Wilderness.

And here's photographic evidence showing that Crestone Needle does indeed have a summit.

Any chance I could borrow your hard drive to do some hunting for myself? :biggrin:

I can't even see out of my 2nd story window because of the snow and these gorgeous images land in front of me dripping with color...........this is too much for my mind, better get another cup o' joe!

Nice stuff!

Holy Cow! The Rolling Mountain shot takes my breath away (the same as it would if I were standing on that high peak). The subtlety of the colors is terrific and the way the image directs the eye along a journey ultimately reaching the cloud-shrouded peaks makes this more of an adventure than a picture! :smile:

Great shots as always. I like the third one the most, and can't wait to go there soon. Thanks for sharing. I love your hunting trips. :toast:

The first shot reminds me of a finely done pastel painting. Nice. I also like the third one best, although I still get shudders from recalling my solo climb up the Needle! It doesn't look so tough from this side, but the other side is something else!

All are sweet shots, Todd. I like this version of the Flat Tops a little more than the one in ES&S. The tarn adds a lot; not so much in terms of eye-candy, but more in terms of depth. Plus the clouds/fog are picking up some color for the sky that you don't have in the other one.

Nice what you find 'lying' around!
I like the third shot with the stream! Nice contrast with the current weather.

All are nice but I really enjoy the last one of Crestone Needle. It's always fun to ramble through the HD and come up with some good stuff.

Nice collection of images. Well done.

The Crestone Needle pic is my favorite. It brings back memories of the day about 10 years ago when I and a friend decided to climb it. It happened to snow 6" the night before. So we changed our mind and climbed Humboldt Peak instead, with its south facing sun-catching face.

I love all 3 Todd. Great shots. Do you have a good method of documenting locations with your digital files, e.g. you description on the first shot? Or is this just from memory? Unfortunately mine fades after a while.
