sky pond

Up at Sky Pond in the Rocky Mountain National Park I found these beautiful Columbines nestled in among the rocks surrounding the pond. So I changed my thinking to a more intimate approach as I waited for sunset to arrive. All comments are welcome, Jim

From this last summer on my hike up to Sky Pond in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. I had to hike a little off trail to get this view but I sure liked the wildflowers and how the water flowed through them. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from of my visits to Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park a month or so ago. On this day it was stormy and very windy. This is after the sunset because I really liked how the clouds were looking. There had been some color earlier, and some kind of cool coloring, but this seems just...

Well, not totally at the Ponds edge, but close. Alan had asked if I had taken any shots at Sky Pond down at the pond level. Now I already posted one a week ago showing the reflection of the peaks in the water, that was taken from the waters edge in order to get the peaks in the water for the...

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...

About halfway up the continuously ascending trail to Sky Pond in RMNP there is an area with a series of split logs to cross these cascades and the soggy ground surrounding it. The trail splits here and one trail heads up along the cascades. It was occasionally raining on this day with periods of...

After shooting the stars for a good portion of the night, this is the wonderful sight that greeted me in the morning at Sky Pond in the RMNP in Colorado. It's a similar composition as the star shot because I liked getting the flowers and especially the Columbine into the image and plus it...

Most of you have seen Monika's recent star shots from Sky Pond in the RMNP in Colorado, here is one I took almost a month ago. To avoid going down the waterfall climb in the dark that Monika described in her Thread and to be able to shoot both sunset, the stars and sunrise I just stayed up there...
