I went all the way back to 2008 to find this image from around Crested Butte, Colorado. It is among many that have never been processed! I was needing a mountain image and thought it would be nice to have one with spring color in it. The valley up from the town of Gothic is especially stunning after the snow melts and the roads open. The greenery seems to glow with corn lilies covering the hillsides.

This was a beautiful sunset with clouds catching the evening color. The red sides of Avery Peak on the right take on even more of a glow with the setting sun shining on them. Dorothy Peak is on the right side with a couple of unnamed peaks over 13,000 feet in the middle. I can’t wait to get over to the Crested Butte area in a couple of weeks to see how the colors are this spring!
