This is one of the images I captured while on a hike up Mount Owen one morning in September.  Mount Owen is a 13,000+ foot peak in the ruby range west of Crested Butte, Colorado.  I set out about 5:30 in the morning, when the sun was just beginning to rise and cast this awesome light on the peaks.  I knew then why they call it the "Ruby Range".  The light from the rising or setting sun intensifies the color of the rocks/minerals in the peaks.  I didn't see anyone else out here that morning, except when I was hiking back.  It was such a peaceful time in the Lord to reflect on Him and His beauty.

What a glorious greeting and time for reflection... Beautiful...

Beautiful capture.

Lovely.  Good timing for capturing that light/shadow effect.

The light has brought out the wonderful bronzed colours of the mountainsides and their textures here. You know it wouldn't hurt to have captured a telephoto shot of the crags themselves as well as this lovely scene.

Just beautiful!

When I first saw the picture, I immediately liked it solely for the one reason that you have captured the ruggedness of the place.

That early morning light is just fantastic and the road leading into the mountains is excellent. I always love the felling when you get up early in the morning to go out photographing don't you.

Well done,
Tim
