Before the Snow

[Zeph]

The year was 2010, my dear wife and I had been out for a couple of weeks of truck camping and getting to Aspen (area) had been a goal. The trip out east, had been mostly cloudless, but luckily enough, Maroon Bells makes it’s own clouds, the place is so easy to shoot even with a low water level and leafless trees. There’s a bit ice forming on the lake edge, the next night it snow enough to scare us away.

Beautiful reflection - the ice crystals near the branches are notable.

That looks like a pretty cool time of the year for truck camping. The atmospherics look delightful but they also make it clear that if precipitation is coming every bit of it will stick.

Very nice Zeph. Not much left in fall color for you, but whenever there is snow on the Bells and you get those cool stripes nothing else much matters! The clouds you got are icing on the cake.

Beautiful colours and reflection, Zeph. I like the way these are framed, in the foreground, by the logs.

That is indeed a photogenic place.
