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 Minolta 5D / Minolta 18-200 DT Lens / Singh-Ray CPL / Dynatran 858 Tripod Thoughts most welcomed / —-—-—-—-—-—-— / More of my work can be seen on my website at http://jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

“The Road To Home” Ya know, sometimes I just sit in amazement when I am shooting and just look, gaze, and take it all in…..if photography has honestly taught me anything, it’s to see better, noticing things you normally wouldn’t even see. Case in point, this shot here. Most people probably just drive on by this place never giving it a second glance, but to me, it was something very special…...so special that I spent about 30 minutes here shooting it. Living in Colorado really has it’s benefits this time of the year…as Autumn sets in and the sun goes south, the light becomes so utterly magical, thanks to our elevation. It becomes so warm and saturated in the morning, that everything seems so alive….so gold. Captured on a rural backroad between Boulder and Lyons, the old road leading to cattle pastures I felt made a very worthy subject, especially considering the colors involved, the light, and the overall composition with the tree. Let me know what ya all think! / —-John —-—-—-—-—-—-— / More of my work can be seen on my website at http://jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

This past week saw me shooting like crazy, making a record 3 trips to the Mount Evans Wilderness Area and surrounding areas in 4 days. Without a doubt, this scene is one that just has to smack travelers and tourists in the face. situated at 10,600 ft (3,230 m) above sea level, the view literally comes out of no where. You round this corner unexpectedly on a twisty road, and all the sudden out of no where you are greeted with this huge lake and THIS scene of mountains and it floors you. The scene itself is just so, well, incredible, like something you usually only see in a fine art painting, or in some distant land in National Geographic….honestly, it is one of the most amazing views I believe I have ever seen. Personally I much prefer it to The Maroon Bells which is better known, and why it’s better known is beyond me. / So hang tight folks, I have MANY new photos to come and share with you all. Let me know what ya all think!

Jones Pass Colorado….this little gem I found by accident actually. Ironically, this whole area has been mined for many years, centuries, old gold mines, and the water is very polluted, and though ugly in an environmental kinda way, the color caught my eyes. It made for some nice contrast on a cloudy day. So why the B&W? I can’t really say other than the fact I like it better actualoly, it brings out some nice contrasts. / Let me know what ya think! / —-John

The Mummy Range seen from Moraine Valley in Rocky Mountain National Park here in Colorado. I wanted a real dramatic image so I went ahead and converted to B&W using the Power Retouche’ Ansel Adams B&W Zone System plugin, a lil tweaking and this was the result. B&W is often so unseen and not noticed, shame, because it is such a gorgeous medium to work with —-John

“Independence Pass Overlook” This past summer, I was able to get to parts of Colorado that I haven’t been to in close to 30 some odd years to do some shooting, and this is one of those places. “Famous” (perhaps even “Infamous”) Independence Pass….the second highest paved mountain pass in Colorado. Last time I was here I was about 11, and my Mom said she would never ever come back again, to drive on this road. It is incredibly narrow, though they have done some construction since then, however, what ya see here is just what ya get…..no guard rails and straight down, thousands of feet. It is stunning though, and my only real regret is that I couldn’t shoot it in the morning light, though I think next year I will, just will need to do an overnight as it is several hours away. From “Wikipedia”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Pass_%28Colorado%29 / The pass is at the summit of the ridge of the Sawatch Range between Aspen and Leadville, on the border between Pitkin and Lake counties and is located within the confines of the White River National Forest. The pass connects the upper valley of the Roaring Fork River upstream from Aspen with the headwaters of the Arkansas River near Leadville. The pass is traversed by Colorado State Highway 82 and is the second-highest paved mountain pass in Colorado. The top of the pass is well above the tree line and the terrain type at the top is tundra. Its narrow road provides for slow cautious navigation on its approaches. Several switchbacks on each side of the pass make careful planning a must. The pass is always closed in winter, from the first heavy snow fall in autumn, often opening only in late May.

Captured in the Alluvial Fan area of Rocky Mountain National Park, needless to say I am glad my tripod weighs a ton as the wind was almost unbearable when I was shooting this. But Natures drama can make for some great atmospheric shots! Thoughts welcomed! / See more on my website at jdebordphoto.com

Here’s a shot from the ghost town of Warren, Idaho. This town was once flooded with prospectors in the late 1800’s now only a few peopele remain as permanent residents. No power has been routed to the town and a phone line was installed only a few years ago. Snowmobile or snowcat are the only modes of transportation during the winter. 40 miles of the route in remains unplowed during these months. I feel extremely fourtunate to have a family cabin up here. A great place to visit and leave all the BS behind. A place of good people, great scenery, and a hell of a lot of fun. The town was almost taken off the map this summer by the East Zone Complex fire. It came within a quarter mile of the town. Now Warren is an oasis within the blackness. Possibly an addition to its unique character. It has survived many wildfires and I am sure will survive many more. / If anyone has seen the movie or read the book “1000 pieces of gold”, it is based on events in this town and much of its history. Please enjoy!

Overlooking the foothills outside of Boulder on New Years day, early morning, just as the Alpinglow pink starts in the sky….it is moments like this I live for when I have my camera.

Estes Park Colorado, also known as the gateway entrance into Rocky Mountain National Park, is seriously a city I wish to call home one day, and now you know why when you see this. Driving down the road, this was a view out my front windshield, so naturally I had to stop and take a few shots….Hallett’s Peak is on the far right, and this would be one of my destinations for the day. Thoughts welcomed! See more on my website at jdebordphoto.com

What can you paint with a tube of ultramarine blue and one of titanium white? / withnothing but memories of the country. I love winter, especially in the solitude of deep country. Used to wander the woods, hills, and valleys around my home growing up. Didn’t matter if it was 15 below zero, I’d get cabin fever and go wandering. Loved walking in the night when things were a bit more magical. The land scattered with mysterious shadows, sounds, and sometimes movement. Original ptg: 24” x 36” / acrylic on canvas artist’s collection – because it was the first acrylic painting I ever attempted. I used oils for another couple of years, then finally converted to acrylics only.
