Among The Mountain Wildflowers
Greetings watchers and welcome to Boreas Pass, Colorado at 11,481 feet high in altitude!
This place is just magical….the wildflower fields go on forever…..and it is total serenity…no one around at all. Silence, among the high peaks. Gorgeous to say the least. You honestly feel like you are in heaven up here…on top of the world….where the air is so utterly fresh and the smell of the wildflowers is hypnotizing! You literally just stand in complete and total awe. Take it all in and breath….and the one thing I personally am proud of about this shot is how I was able to get that lighting! I am not sure of the peak here…
Wikipedia has a nice page up about Boreas Pass Interesting lil facts on there like “The pass was formerly known as Breckenridge Pass in the 1860s”
Was just informed on Naturephotographers.net from some of my fellow Colorado Photographers, that this is Quandary Peak

I climbed Quandary Peak (14,265’ one of Colorado’s 56 14ers) many years ago. Beautiful landscape, John; with superb lighting conditions. Just the right amount of polarization too. I like the wildflowers in the foreground. All in all, very nicely done! Cheers! Chris
