Clouds, mist, and aspens, Colorado
After returning from Greenland, Claudia and I spent only a few days at home before starting a road trip to Utah and Colorado. We began by photographing autumn aspens and maples in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, then moved to western Colorado for more aspens. Now we’re back in Utah, but in the southern part, with red-rock deserts and yellow cottonwood trees. We’re having a great time.
I’ve been making lots of photographs, so it’s hard to keep up with the backlog of images, but here are a couple of my favorites from the trip so far. These are from southwest Colorado, with mist and clouds created by the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla as it moved through the area and dumped large quantities of rain.
More to come… and of course I’ll post more photographs from Greenland as well.
