Rocky Mountains through the clouds, Colorado, USA
One of my problems when taking pictures from a commercial flight is figuring out afterwards exactly what I’ve taken a picture of, especially if I’m not familiar with the location. In this case, a quick look at the flight tracker and google maps showed my flight only crossed one significant mountain range, so I feel confident declaring this is a picture of the Rocky Mountains – more exactly, part of the Southern Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
I could see the thick clouds settled over the mountains as we approached, so didn’t hold out much hope of getting any pictures – I was pleasantly surprised to find some photogenically located gaps in the clouds as we passed over!
Those surprises are the best. They certainly were very photogenic gaps in the clouds. Nice one!
Thanks Charlene.
Just lovely
Thanks Mackenzie.
Great shot. I have the same problem on road trips, sometimes I cover up to 1000 miles in a day and have a hard time remembering locations more detailed than the state I was in…
I probably shouldn’t confess this, but that may be why some of my pictures are only labeled with the state and not the town… 🙂
Nice. Due to the contrast, the mountains really pop out. They are also nicely framed by the clouds.
Thanks Mark. I chose this particular image because of the framing effect, so glad it works!
