Oh, what a beautiful morning…

 I was late to work this morning because of this.

I could not believe the colors and lighting. This is not altered in any way. It is a direct out of camera shot looking west as the sun was rising. My photo friends would probably tell me the color balance was all wrong and what I should have done to get the exposure right and not so blue but I knew I was working with very limited time.

This was the best of the five photos I was able to take while the light lasted and until my hands froze because I forgot my gloves.

  • Well it looks perfectly beautiful to me.

  • breathtaking!

  • This is so unbelieveably gorgeous!

    It’s hard for me to imagine it…it was 80 degrees here in NC today.

  • Where are you?

  • This was taken outside of Larkspur, Colorado.

  • this almost makes me think getting up early in the a.m. would be worth it to see something like this.. I like how the red clouds looks like lava exploding from out of the mountain top (like a cloud volcano).

  • Gorgeous! And don’t worry about the blue–snow is tough subject to photograph because it almost always has blue shadows. That’s why so many digital cameras have a ’snow-scape’ setting.

  • All right. That’s it. I’ve seen way too many beautifulgorgeousamazing photos of Colorado this past year. I’m going. Hahaha. It’s been decided. I’ll just have to move again. Hahaha.
