Kinda cliche I suppose.....but considering of all the different mountain locations in Colorado or other states in the Rockies/West it should be a great thread.

I'll start off with one I was going to show Kimo because he asked to see a shot of a face I told him about in the B&W thread. Everyone should check out his many faces photo from the Indian Peaks area (on page 9 of the B&W)....it is uncanny how many faces are in that one image. It's an awesome shot! Anyway, I call this "The Big Chief" as you can see from the title in the photo (I use titles for descriptions on my website and have a lot of fun with it......hopefully no one will find it too distracting). This shot was taken in the morning between Rock Cut and Mt. Chapin. As far as I know nobody has coined it as such and therefore take my description in that subjective vein!
A shot from the Cottonwood Pass area:
And one from a place many may recognize.....American Basin:

Great pics, Mark.

Who here doesn't enjoy a good sunset or sunrise? The kind that stirs the soul and makes one go ahhhhh. Seems of late I've been seeking these sublime moments more than summits. I hope others share their photographs of these special moments in your day.

Sunrise on Mount Baldy...


Sunset on Haleakala...

I don't find the the whimsy titles distracting. The titles are interesting, complement the photo, and besides - and most important - this is art. Make it what you want.

The Big Chief is remarkable. I passed through Rock Cut on Sunday evening near sundown. In the soft fading light I realized that is a special area and one I would like to return to more often to practice photography. It's interesting that you would post a photograph of the Big Chief who watches over that area after I had these good thoughts.

And Saturated skies reminds me of the sunrise after a sleepless night. It's dreamy like that. Nicely done.

Alright! Another great thread! Can't wait to see what everybody posts.

Sunrise near Dream Lake (RMNP) last January

Wonderful shots all! Here's from along Old Fall River Road in RMNP on the way to hike Ypsilon and associates:

From Torrey's shoulder, July 2008

Some great shots so far! I want more! Don't be shy.

Sunrise over Uncompahgre a couple weeks ago

Sunset on Handies.

Not exactly a sunset, (looking west) twilight from around Jaws 1 on Lake Como Road.

Mark,

I dig that shot of American Basin and that face is uncanny! Crazy!

I'll post some photos later - have trouble posting on the photography forum from work (not sure why, but it keeps logging me out when I post).

Sunrise over Mt. Lady Washington from Longs (August, 2009)
