2:30 Break

Found this photo while looking through some older folders.  I love the way the light of the large front windows is falling directly on her face, with a large majority of light blocked by another large leather chair and stack of coffee.

Foggy Pasture

 

These photos were taken this morning while the fog in Tabernash still lingered, giving great morning light.  The morning temp hovered around freezing giving a fresh frosting to the field here off of county road 83.

Pumpkin Mecca

 

Rock Creek Farm is Colorado's pumpkin patch mecca with thousands of pumpkins to choose from.  Located in Broofield, CO the farm has over 100 acres filled with the big orange fruits.

Columbine Lake - Indian Peaks, CO

Columbine Lake Trail takes you to almost 11,000 ft in the Indian Peaks Wilderness.  It took us 90 minutes to reach the lake, 3 miles away from the parking lot.  Both these panoramas show a different view point of the lake.  The top one is in 3:1 ratio, perfect for a 12"x36" poster print.  The bottom photo is less ideal, since I would need to crop the height of it losing foreground interest.

I hope to revisit this location and better compose what I was trying to achieve.

YMCA Overlook

Panorama taken from Gaylord Reservoir at the YMCA, overlooking the Continental Divide.  Looking forward to getting back here with a fresh snowfall to take this photo again.

Floating Fish Market - Washington, DC

Reagan International Airport - DCA

Took these photos last night on the landing side of the DCA.  I leave this morning to head back to good old Colorado and even better, JULIE.  I think this location has lots of potential, most of which I barely even touched.

Ben' Chili Bowl - Washington DC

Ben's Chili Bowl located on U street in Washington DC was the one of the only places not touched during race riots.  Ben's became famous as a neutral site of peace and reason.

Drum Circle

Took these pictures in Malcolm X park in Washington, DC.  I love how everyone is the area black and white came together to make this weekly drum circle.

DC Dank

Dank DC includes a photo I took of the Washington Memorial and one of my buddies roof top patio.  Virtual tour of the roof top coming soon.

World War II Memorial

Photography of the World War II Memorial, during a night session on Tuesday.  The second photo is going to be Mike and Emily Baily's save the date postcard for their wedding next summer.

Faces Of Colorado

Spent the weekend in Denver, and found this painted mural under an over pass.  Here's the tour, Faces of Colorado Virtual Tour.  Check out the reflections of the person's culture in their sunglasses.

Off to Washington, DC this morning, I'm writing this from in the Denver Airport. 

Guppies

The Fraser River is producing some great fishing this Fall.  I caught these footballs only a short walk from my front door.  The highlight of the past few days was a beautiful colored orange brookie. 

Mellow Yellow

Yesterday I finished exploring most of the Aspens.  I climbed up the side of a mountain to find this stand of Aspens that provided both leaves on the ground and still on the tree.  The curved ground of the panorama is an effect created by the steepness of the mountain and the trees were bowed outward toward the sun, also giving them curved trunks. 

Virtual Tour - Mellow Yellow

The tour is 6 mb instead of the usual 2 mb, so give it some time to load.

Aspen Road?

Not sure what this road is called or how you can get to it by car, but it sure was beautiful.  I walked the road from about a half hour with out seeing a car or another person, and decided it must be named Aspen Road. 

ASPEN ROAD - VIRTUAL TOUR

More aspens will be coming as I get time to explore more.  Also, heading to Denver this weekend with Julie to meet up with our friend Jeff.  I'll be doing some downtown photography.

Discovery Trail

Just across from the Winter Park Ski Resort is the Discovery Trail, which takes you right into the willows with great views of an expansive Aspen Grove.  Here's the virtual tour of this location.  DISCOVERY TRAIL BOARDWALK <--- Virtual Tour
