The sunrises this time of year here in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park are incredible! You never know what to expect. And your window of opportunity to take a photograph is only a couple of minutes, sometimes less than that. The sky changes so quickly.
I took this photograph the first morning after Daylight Savings Time changed. We were up pretty early that morning and the clouds looked just right. I sat there and waited to see what would happen…
This sunrise was going to be special. What a way to wake up and see this gorgeous sunrise right outside your window looking at Old Man Mountain. Wow! I love the pink coloring in the sky and clouds.
What do you think?










speechless!!
Absolutely breathtaking…. Love it
Wow Mel! This is spectacular Wagnerian drama at its very best. The big cloud has a pink
face , nose and mouth.
Mel, I just got back to New Orleans Sat after 2 days hiking in RMNP. I saw a couple of similar mornings but not like this. The weather and hikes were beautiful. My daughter took over 1000 pictures in just 2 days!! Can’t wait to get back again. Hopefully it won’t take another 15 years. You’s soo lucky to live there!!
