Hints and allegations

Yes, a reference to Paul Simon's-"You can call me Al." An apt title I thought for the hints and allegations by those that winter has come to the high country.

I set out to discover if any of this was true.

It was difficult to ascertain at some places exactly what the truth was.

In fact, some were trying to cloud the issue.

Others were quite vague.

It looked like at times that some were blowing smoke.

Some were being distant as to avoid the subject.

While others seem to be making a clear statement.

And some were actually obtuse.

Then there were those that would have us believe that fall was in fact here also.

There were co-conspirators in that canard.

And a small segment were trying to perpetuate both fallacies.

Don't believe them.

Well done!!

Sweeeet! and a taste of things to come!!
Very nice series.

Awesome series Morris...where were these taken because I'm seeing some early color here??

Thanks, Ed and Richard.
Hey, Jack, where you been? The first one is Torreys Peak off of I-70 at Bakerville.
#2 thru 5 are the Gore range,
#6 and 11 are off of I-70 between Frisco and Copper Mountain. Part of the Tenmile range, I think.
#7 and 8 are more of the Tenmile range looking south from the ponds along I-70 at Officers Gulch.
#9 was at Green Mountain Reservoir
and #10 was along Hwy. 9 north of Silverthorne.

You guys that climb all of these mountains can give the names to them. I always get them wrong. Somebody needs to teach me how to read a topo.

Oh, and I am pretty sure that Caudle was just ahead of me everywhere I went, with this many clouds around.

Morris, you crack me up. Great series, and imaginatively presented.

Well Morris, one thing is crystal clear. That's one hell of an amazing series and you're one hell of a terrific photographer!! Are those current shots?

Hi Morris - what a great series! I really like 1, 6, 7, and 8, but enjoyed them all. Beautiful work!

What a freaking amazing series of Hints and Allegations!

You are all too kind.
Russ, I shot all of these this last Saturday. Just great conditions everywhere with the clouds and rain.

A really great set. 2 and 6 are my favs. But really all of them are well executed.

Great set to start the new season.

I thought there's only room enough for one cloud man in this forum!

Cool series, Morris. Pretty much what I saw last Thursday out along the sawatch range. Thanks for sharing!

WoW! Call me crazy but I really love the early fall colors and just a hint of yellow

Outstanding set, Morris!! 1, 5, 8 are my faves but they are all fine!

Very creative, Morris...and the photos are fantastic too!! All are incredible images, Morris, but I especially like the last one because of the sense of scale that it conveys. I feel as though I am standing at the edge of a mountain looking into that scene.

Looks like a great day! Really like #8

Beautiful images and mini story accompaniment!

Bravo!! I enjoyed each and every one of these wonderful (and chilly!) images and the creative narrative.
I fear that you've set an impossibly high bar for most of us, but one which also provides inspiration to try a little harder.
Thank you for that.

To be honest, i looked through the first few and thought this might be a relatively weak set--your typical obscured mountain shots--but then i got to #5, 6, 7, & 8--WOW!! All classics. So, it works fine as a series, but i think some here are much stronger than the others.

I really like # 5 + 6 the best. Thanks for the presentation Morris!

Very nice series! I especially like the simplicity and monochrome look of #1! Well done...

I like the opposing Vs in #1, and #8 for its cut edge ridge backed by clouds... and the captions of course.
#6 is the best in the series, imo.

Morris, this is a really nice series. I am partial to 6 & 8...but love the upside down V across from the right side up V in the first image....which I guess you can say create a diamond shape....but like that comp a lot.

A nice series, but I particularly appreciated the "obtuse" reference... too much of a nerd, I guess.

I think I would like #1 a lot if I lived with it on my wall for a while. I think it would need some time to appreciate.
