This Fall in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado we had an early snow that changed everthing in the high alpine in an instant…  The once barren fields void of most of its summer yield was now transformed into a winter wonderland.  The high alpine lakes were not yet froze over so this particular one provided for some nice foreground allowing me to capture the reflection of the beautiful red glow in the distant fading sunset as nightfall was quickly setting in… 

Unfortunately, it is now half way through December and the high alpine fields are void of any snow… It is nice to be able to still access the alpine country but I have never seen it so bare this time of year… No worries this early in the season though as one storm can change it all….

Thank you for viewing my site and hope you all have a wonderful holiday season including Christmas, Hanukkah, and a fantastic New Year!
