Sangre De Cristo Winter Sunset.

The smoke and haze this winter has pretty much ruined the chance for getting suitable mountain panoramas but luckily the same problem has been making for some great sunsets. I don't like shooting sunsets all the time because they can quickly get cliché and boring but there is definitely a time and place for them. … Continue reading Sangre De Cristo Winter Sunset. →

Little Grouse Mountain

Woke up early this morning with no real plan for the day, but as always I threw my camera in the truck... just in case.
