Colorado Gold is gone!

This is the same aspen stand that I photographed for the image posted in the landscape forum titled 'Colorado gold' taken during the winter months. with all the leaves gone and snow of the ground, the color is gone and makes this a nice subject to shoot in B&W.

The gold may be gone but the grove with snow still provides a nice view and the monochrome looks nice.

That sure is a dense stand of aspen - this version of the scene makes that more obvious than the first one since we aren't distracted by the leaves.

Love it Larry! I really like you working the bare trees. Sometimes people equate bare trees with boring in the winter time. I am glad you didn't.

I am about to post a similar but different B&W Colorado tree scene.

Thanks Jameel for the comments on this image, they are very much appreciated.

Thanks Jim, glad you like it. Back in my camera club days we called this the dead time of year and not good for photography. I never really believed that and have found lots to shoot during the 'dead time'!

Thanks Alan for your comments, appreciated! I have seen lots of dense aspen stands, but nothing like this group they are so uniform and straight that they almost look as if they had been planted!
