Breckenridge Blizzard
I was driving home today from a few days of shooting fall foliage and drove through the blizzard from Vail Pass all the way to Eisenhower Tunnel. I took this during the peak of snowfall just west of Breckenridge. It felt good to be out shooting again, this was my first time out of just photography in exactly a year. I'll be processing some more tomorrow and will post a few later.

Quick report, went through Owl Creek Pass on Tuesday and it was gorgeous (was shooting in a light rain all day) but the colors were near peak.

That is a beautiful painting, er photograph, Scott! Missed you by 1 day on Owl Creek Pass, I was there on Wed. and it rained a bit that day as well.

Very impressionistic with the falling snow.

A very nice catch! Maybe dial up the contrast a little. Glad you were able to get out and shoot!
