Many thanks for your kind words David; for some reason I had forgotten to up-load this and the Sprague Lake image. I have about 20 – 30 which await scanning from other places ( largely, Africa, Asia and Australasia from my travels in the days before digital! )
incredible colour! Makes me desperate to visit sometime
Many thanks Christopher – timing it right with the aspens turning to gold is a little hit and miss; this was taken in early October. I hope you can make it there some day as Colorado has lots of very photogenic opportunities like the Maroon Bells here.
Love the fall Aspens in the Rockies!..Splash of color really adds to the view..Dennis
Thanks Dennis, the window of opportunity is quite small if you want to catch them at their peak with helpful weather conditions – I know I got pretty lucky here with an image that says Colorado!
