Rocky Mountain National Park - Horseshoe Park
Horseshoe Park
Horseshoe Park is located on the east side of RMNP, and is at an elevation of 8,524 feet. Like Moraine Park, this area was formed as part of the Pinedale glaciation period some 30,000 years ago. The 1,000 foot deep Fall River glacier formed this area of the park.
The Road To Somewhere
Fresh snow on the mountain tops, and fog covering the valley. The mountains in the distance rise above the fog as if not to be slighted. This is another photo taken on the first day of summer. Shortly before this, hail, thunder, and lightning had passed overhead.
Bridge To The Milky Way
Capturing the Milky Way core is one of my favorite things to do in photography. Capturing it in the context of an interesting foreground is something I always strive to do. I thought the new bridge at the Alluvial Fan would make a great subject.
Midnight Meadow
The Milky Way looks brilliant over Sheep’s Meadow. Out of frame was a small herd of Elk. Traffic on the surrounding roads, and some constructions workers cast some light on the mountains above the meadow.
Moonlit Mountains
A full moon setting during the blue hour made for a cold, yet stunning scene. The snow covered mountains had a wonderful moonlit glow, and the river of moonlight across the meadow really grabbed my attention. And yes, it was every bit as cold as it looks when I took this picture.
