One look out the window and down the valley and it’s obvious that more snow is on the way! The first place it shows up is over the Sangre de Cristo Range where storm clouds spilling over the mountains is simply stunningly beautiful! Sometimes that’s as far as the clouds go though, the clouds stall out over the mountains and all we see is sunshine on the other side of the Arkansas River Valley. Not today though, a few steps down my trail and and I was acutely aware of what’s to come… Cloudy, cold and wind blowing about a hundred miles an hour 🙁 So I just hiked to the overlook to capture a few images of the amazing scene and just scrambled back to the truck to escape the gale!
At the overlook the wind was blowing so hard I could hardly hold the camera still… even putting it on the monopod wasn’t much help but I persevered anyway. The wind was blowing my eyes closed so it was difficult to even maintain a composition but I managed to grab a few captures before retreating to the warmth of my vehicle. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pictures!
