lost reception
Wires hang from what used to bring TV to these houses near the Moffat tunnel.
Cold Coffee
An empty coffee cup matches the bear berries and the snow.
ptarmigan
A white-tailed ptarmigan, halfway molted from summer plumage. I especially like the red eyelid you can see.
Ice Storm
Blowing snow gusts across Echo Lake.
Light Show
Northern lights are always worth losing sleep over!
Stormy Shards
These blades of ice are the result of an ice storm, followed by a warm (near freezing) humid day.
Frosty Contrast
The white of the hoarfrost on these trees provides a strong contrast to the deep blue of the sky.
mine head
An abandoned mine building above Leadville, CO. There are lots of old mine towns, but Leadville is special in how closely everything is grown together. Turn east on 7th street. Drive for 10 minutes. Congratulations, all the mines you could ever ask for.
wavy world
A reflection flip off a frozen beaver pond looks almost real, but adds an angry tint to the sky.
head in the clouds
Center of frame is the bottom half of Pikes Peak. The size of this mountain only becomes obvious when you’re a long way off; this shot is from 40 miles to the north and it’s still the largest feature of the landscape.
