As the Clouds Roll In
I love photographing in bad weather, there is just something about the drama of it all that amazes me, and this was of no exception. Garden of the Gods outside of Colorado Springs is the location, a place which, is simply magical and unlike anywhere else on Earth…the light here is the best I have ever seen, and even when there is none, it still holds it own. Captured this past early spring, where at the higher elevations the clouds brought snow, but where I was at, it was rain.
Processed in HDR with final output through PS.

This is the landscape that everyone dreams of when they say that they want to run over the hills and mountains across all the plains of the world, this is where they see themselves and you have captured it.
