Creek running at Sand Dunes
I just got back from a couple of weeks in S. CO. It was a nice change from our temp here. This picture was taken at the Great Sand Dunes on June 18th. As you can see, the creek was still running strong (on both sides of that small bosque-like spit of land). The rangers were amazed at how much water was still coming through for this late in June.

Nice shot! This one works very well as a b&w.

I agree--B&W was a good choice!

Ditto - this is really nice. The b&w highlights the water nicely.

Thanks for the comments. When I composed this shot, it definitely said it needed to be b & w.
