A little later in the morning, after photographing sunrise on the Gore Range from Ute Pass, I found this closer perspective. Not sure what the name of this peak is, but it looked nice with the moon setting behind it.

Nikon D200, 28-105mm lens, circular polarizer

Nice shot Doug. Love the greens and the moon really adds to the empty sky. Are all those dead pines the result of pine beetle infestation?

If it weren't for the red lodgepoles, this would be a really nice crisp shot.

Nice shot, Doug! The moon really adds to this. I think we all need to get used to having dead trees in our shots :frown:

Great shot Doug - the moon really makes this image. Too bad about the pines...

Geez, have another beer! Looks like you've got a pretty serious CCW lean to this. Bummer about the beetle kill. There are just parts of the state that it's going to be tough to work around that damage.

Hmmmm, my spirit level said the camera was level. I guess the ground was tilted. It tends to do that in the mountains. :rolleyes:
