There is peace, quiet, and beauty in Colorado, but these days one has to go to the mountains to find it. This colorful sunset, viewed from Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, was shot by Erik Stensland. It appears on his Facebook page where he often posts photos that don’t make it to his gallery pages.
(Years ago I obtained his permission to reprint his copyrighted photographs on Pied Type.)
how beautiful
Some combination of Colorado’s thin dry air, clouds, and mountains gives us more than our share of colorful sunrises and sunsets. Whatever it is, I’m not complaining!
That Gore Range overlook is definitely one of the best locations to catch sunset!
I could not have identified those peaks if my life depended on it. But I was focused on the sky. The colors we get here never ceased to amaze.
