It was a snowy gloomy day in Cripple Creek today and I had almost lost hope for any shooting when as I was on my way home from a grocery run I noticed a hint of fog rolling in from the Arkansas River Valley below. There were also a few clouds that looked like they might be able to catch a glimpse of the evening sun, so I rushed home, grabbed my camera and headed out into the cold.
My first vantage point near Victor was a bit of a bust as Grouse Mountain in the distance
was all but blocking out every bit of light that might light the clouds. So I rushed back around town and up the other side of the valley to the Highway 67 overlook high above Cripple Creek. It was a beautiful sight with the entire Arkansas Valley filled in with a beautifully lit fog and a golden sky over the Sangre de Cristo mountains 🙂 I took in the scene and shot for a while until it got too dark and my hands were frozen to the tripod 🙁
I’m thinking tomorrow morning is going to be a great morning for a hike! And as always, these images and more will be available on my website for purchase as wall art on glossy metal or acrylic sheets, stretched canvas, traditional framing and matting and tons of cool gift items!
