American Basin

[Guy Schmickle]

A beautiful collection of wildflowers (mostly sneezeweed) coupled with a lovely sunset at American Basin in Colorado's San Juan Mountains.

Quite the contrast to go from Martin's ice field image to this - the colorful meadow in the foreground is a nice sight and the nice color in the clouds looks inviting.

Just lovely.

Really nice soft scene!

 

[Douglas Sherman]

This is beautiful, Guy. I can see at least six different species of flowers.

Very cool Guy! I like how you framed this with the flowers and the basin along with that hint of color in the sky.

American Basin is still on my list of places to get to and shoot in SW Colorado.

Gorgeous!

American Basin is still on my list of places to get to and shoot in SW Colorado.

Do it pretty soon, Jim. It's one of those places that keeps getting loved to death and all the careless trampling will soon take it's toll on the wildflowers. I think it's destined to become the next Yankee Boy Basin (which has already suffered that fate, imo).

Thanks everyone!

Lovely composition, Guy. The flowers are beautifully framed by the dramatic mountain cirque and the expressive sky.
