I assume the stream of waterfall images I have been posting are getting a little old (not that I don’t have a lot more to share!), so I thought I would mix things up today. It was a gorgeous summer day here in Colorado yesterday. The day started out with clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine and as is the norm in the summer, clouds started to develop over the mountains as the day progressed. I stepped out of the house to get some fresh air in between working on images and couldn’t help but be drawn to this scene playing out on the mountainside. The swiftly moving clouds were casting deep shadows over the forest and the sides of Mount Columbia. As I watched they danced about creating ever changing patterns. This image stood out from the rest since both the forward point and the actual peak in the back are accentuated by sunlight.
