It's been a while since I've posted anything, but here is one that I just post-processed from out of the archives. This is during epic early snow of 2006 (the road was littered with downed trees and deep snow at higher elevations). Marcellina Mtn is a favorite of mine and I really like the unique conditions.

P.S. Right around the corner from here I bumped into our most famous Colorado photographer. :smile: :smile:

John, I met you at this exact spot, but I don't recall us running into Erik Stensland around the corner. :biggrin:

Pretty!

Love the muted colors and overcast light, but the snow on Marcellina is the icing on this cake.

Two thumbs up!!!! This is a great image that has it all! The only thing missing are some nice spring flowers. :wink:

Todd, I'm just the most famous virtual CO photographer :rolleyes: you are one of the truly famous. :smile:

Nice! I hiked into Dark Canyon after that storm, what a magical scene it was.

Excellent shot John. I love that view, and shoot it every time I pass I think. Great rendition of that locale. So you ran into Grant Collier? Cool. :cool:

Really sweet shot, John!

I love this area, too. Very nice shot.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I could have said Colorado's most humorous photographer but that may not have been any clearer. :biggrin: :biggrin:

Very nice John! Wonderful combo of colors, and of course I love the low clouds!

And I specifically remember talking to you on the phone that day about the downed trees. But it was all worth it, huh? :biggrin:
Posted by Roger Rouch on May 8, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Wow, that's nice! Not only a lot of mood and contrast of elements, but very crisp looking.

I remember the storm and was there a week or so later when all that was left was a bunch of busted down trees and rather naked branches. Though I can't say that I'm sorry I missed that big snow.

Ooh, thanks Morris! You're now my favorite Colorado photographer! But I'm not sure if I even qualify as a Colorado photographer anymore, seeing how little time I've spent shooting in Colorado lately. As for Todd & Erik, I think you're all confusing the terms famous and infamous! :cool: According to Alexa.com, Jack Brauer is the most famous (though I'm bigger than him in India :biggrin:)

Oh, and this is a great shot!

A very nice shot John for all the reasons mentioned. Mabe we should do a "From the Archives Thread". Yes, Grant we are mostly infamous around here! :jump:
Posted by Paul Martin on May 9, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Brilliant! I love digging through the archives. :biggrin:

Welcome back John. A really nice image here! Hope you will be posting again more often.
