maroon bells

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 enjoy shooting the Maroon Bells despite the crowds that gather there. But I also like getting back behind the lake and shooting compositions that don't include the Bells. I have found that there are ton's of other great shots, it just requires hiking a little bit. All comments are welcome, Jim

Late for the color, but early for the snow. A big storm came though the evening I took this.

Thankfully almost everyone thinks that Maroon Bells can only be shot at sunrise! While there can be a 500 people at sunrise, there won't be 50 people there at sunset, in fact often there may only be 5 of us or so. It was a sunset here that I met @Shibu George and his brother. So, I enjoy...

While the moon was lowering in the sky towards the Maroon Bells peaks, the Milky Way was making it's appearance known peaking out behind a light layer of clouds. This is a 1 shot image, with the peaks and gfall colors being lit up by the moon. All comments are welcome, Jim

We are all so familiar with fall colors at Maroon Bells, that I had decided I wanted to specifically shoot it with wildflowers instead of fall colors. So I made a few trips there and this is one of the ones I liked. All comments are welcome, Jim

Sept '08 My brother finally got me up to Aspen. The first day there we went up to Maroon Lake late in the afternoon. Storm clouds were dropping a dusting of snow in the higher elevations. With the fall color fairly well along, though not at peak, yet, I really liked the contrasts. C&C most welcome.
