This is an aerial shot from about 8000 feet while traveling at 120 mph trying not to soil myself.

Nice shot! Really shows the expanse of the boulderfield...

Here are a few from my collection. There are probably way to many to share.

Furthermore -- what do you fly? You look to have a good service ceiling judging by the Crestone photo. That Quandary flight looks super bumpy! Rough day to be on the leeward side of those ridges.

Throwing the bone for the dog I see two passing lights
Well, I wonder where that driver's bound
Is there someone, somewhere, someway out there that I've not found"

Those were taken when I was flying a BE1900D. I miss the mighty Beech.
Another post, how about another three.
Bells. Sneffels. Crestones again.

Re: Let's See Your Aerial Photos
These are awesome!
Any chance you guys would be willing to post them in the "User Photos" section if I create an "Aerial Photos" category?? Then they could be found in one place and still linked-to in this thread.

Re: Let's See Your Aerial Photos
I added the "14er Aerial Photos" category and moved over the shots which were already added to the 14ers category. Great stuff!
