Here's a shot from Maroon Lake yesterday. There are some flowers in the meadows and lots on the way to the lake along the road, but nothing monumental.

This one looks a little odd due to it being a 30-second exposure at high iso and large aperture, well before sunrise. It was dark enough that I could plainly see the headlamp of at least one climber high up on North Maroon Peak's NE ridge.

Here's a goat that was very cooperative up on Mt. Evans' summit. Burned a lot of pixels on this guy. But, as Dan and Kurt both mentioned, DAMN it was windy up there!

Here's sunset from the summit later that day.

And finally, after getting trapped in yet another jam-up at the construction zone on Trail Ridge Road, we got to the Lava Cliffs overlook and there were 8-10 BIG bull elk with beautifully massive racks that, although they got a little edgy with the traffic and gawking humans, stayed around long enough for some pics.

Beautiful photos. I like the first one the most. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Holy moly! Another outstanding collection from you! The Bells shots are classic and beauitful. But, where are the other 75 photogs that stand beside me in the fall? :biggrin: Your goat and elk shots are magic, buddy!

My buddy and I weren't alone at Maroon Lake...there WAS one other photographer sharing the shoreline.

These are all great Todd but that first one is killer. Really dig the second one, too. The long exposure did wonders for the clouds. Really cool!

The first bells image is sweet. Seems like you don't see many summer images from there. And the elk are very impressive.

There seems to be anough variations of the bells that I never tire of them. The clouds dotting the sky are great and the shot is a classic. Of course, the rest are nice, too. I might go so far as to say, Roy G Biv....the whole spectrum.

I dunno, looks like CYMK to me Todd! :biggrin:

Nice collection!

Nice! I like the goat and the sunset from Evans the best. :smile:

I love the first composition of the Bells and the sunset shot.
The long exposure ends up looking ordinary in comparison.
As always, I enjoy seeing wildlife up there that I may never get a chance to see.

Bells is always one of my fav places. Well done.
Posted by Dan Walters on July 17, 2010 at 10:15 PM
Great collection Todd! Those elk look great!

Stunner after stunner after stunner.

Posting a familiar one shortly.

Nice collection- the dimensionality of the elk shot and the white and blues of the goat shots are spectacular!
Posted by Jack Brauer on July 19, 2010 at 5:28 PM
I like the Bells shots, but the aspens look too green to me. Shouldn't they be yellow???

The elks shot is the winner of this bunch, imo!

I like the sunset shot.
