Mount Elbert, 14,440' (right), is the highest peak in CO, and the highest in the Rocky Mountains of NA. Might not look that way from this vantage, but once you start walking up the hill, you quickly realize the scale. No filtration, no multiple exposure fancy compositing, just a single 2.5 second click before dawn. The sun rising into thin clouds way way way out east, which was killing the colour in the sky, but bathing the ground in a soft warm pink light. After snapping this, I scrambled down the hill through the stream and over to my second perch for the morning. This light wasn't going to last!
