Approaching Sunset

[JimFox]

Up at Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park, as sunset approached the clouds were moving fast. The clouds above the sawtooths started to dissipate but a whole new set approached from the other side. This is now looking towards the outlet of Sky Pond and out of view but right below that is Looking Glass lake.

All comments are welcome,

Rugged looking terrain and a very beautiful setting. A little more cloud cover would have been nice with the colors you got but this is certainly quite nice as is.

Did you take any shots from down closer to the water?

Very pretty scene Jim.

Very nice light you had Jim. Like the composition as well.

Thanks Alan.

I did get a shot or two from lower down as I was making my way down the hillside as I was hoping to try and climb down the waterfall before it was pitch dark. Even with a headlamp on, it's tricky to try and find your steps while backing down the waterfall. Especially in one section where there essentially is no good footholds, just little nubs in the rock so you have to really make sure you have good hand grips. But... I still ended up going down it in the dark, so much for that idea.

the trees really add a sense of scale to the scene. love the pink clouds shyly peeking out from behind the mountain like a small kid behind their mother's leg.
