mountain loop

I just posted some color images over in Landscape, but as usual converted many to B&W. Hall Pk. Snow covers a fallen tree on the shore of the river Drone View of snow The drone makes it easy to get nice snow pictures without footprints!

I posted a landscape view looking west from this spot a few days ago. This vertical is looking east toward Big Four and Hall Pk.

This popular little hike is mobbed in the summer so I never go then. Last Monday I had it mostly to myself on a cool and cloudy day. Ciffs and clouds above the lake Symetry Cloud Play Drone View

Might have been our last day of X-skiing up The Mountain Loop Highway. A bit of new snow made for good skiing and nice views of the misty mountains. Hall Peak North Ridge of Big Four Valley View

Last fall on day 1 the weather was good at Maroon bells (met Jim Fox there), next day was this! Can't complain, mother nature always gift us with something!

I made the hike up to Lake 22 on a cold fall day and didn't expect much photo wise, but brought my NEX-7 any who. Sure glad I did - the ice was forming as I hiked around the lake so I happily spent much more time taking pictures than I expected. This was a few years ago and I was lucky to have...
