Not sure I have ever seen shots of this place when it wasn't decked out in fall leaves. Nice B&W.

Very cool Larry. I have never been there in the winter. Did you ride the snowmobile in? The road gets closed to it in the winter I know.

Hi Jim, thank you for the cool comment, very much appreciated!

This shot was taken in mid to late November, technically not winter. Kathleen and I were in Aspen for New Years one year and the road to the Bells was closed because of avalanche danger along the road. In fact we could hear the sounds of an avalanche crashing down somewhere down the road toward the Bells. I have scene images of the bells in winter and it is snow bound everywhere. A friend of mine hauled a 8X10 camera back there and got a beautiful image. I have a contact print of the image somewhere in the black hole I call my house. Ansel Adams made a winter print from the bells, you could probably find it on line.
