 Another image from the side of the road near the intersection of McCaslin and Hwy 128 near Louisville CO.

Johanna you are right! I did not want to convert this one to B&W. But either presentation is dramatic. I went out for about an hour and half and came back and edited it for about 45 minutes and submitted. Thanks for the nice comments and votes. Very happy to see this at the top.

Dennis, this nails the 'sunburst landscape' genre perfectly. Just the right amount of detail in the backlighting, not overcooked in the sky. First-rate job.
