I shot this one a couple of weeks ago, on my way home from Ouray. The sun had already set. It was dusk, and the sky was beautiful. I spotted this little pond on the side of the road, but I didn't like the angle from the road. I was too high, and wanted to get closer to the pond. It had just rained that afternoon, the embankment on the side of the road was steep and muddy, but I wanted to climb down to the bottom. It looked like it might be really slippery... It was!

The whole time I've been in Durango, I've been trying to find some nice spots to get a good photo of the damn steam train. I spotted this one yesterday. It is taken from a bridge. I saw it, and thought 'perfect!' A nice curve in the tracks, nice trees, pretty background... So, I went back this morning and waited for the train. It passed right underneath me, and I choked on the smoke and embers.

Here's another from yesterday's snowstorm in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was an AWESOME day for shooting! This was taken during a brief break when the snow stopped and the sun poked it's head out for a little bit. It was a great few minutes for photography with clouds swirling around the mountains. When I saw the few little pieces of blue sky, I figured the snow was done. Noooooooo… Not even close. It started right back up. I went back today and it was an absolute blizzard! Most of the time I was there today, it was actually snowing too hard to even take any photos.

Here's one from a couple months ago. The paint mines in Calhoon... Calhaun... Calahan...
I can't remember how it's spelled. I'll go look it up.
It's Calhan...

I'm trying to get in the holiday spirit by looking at some snowy photos. It's not working. I really can't stand the holidays.
This was from about a month and a half ago. A snowy day in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
