Aspen's Welcome [Monthly Theme]
Uploaded: October 01, 2006 00:11:13
In my opinion, the most spectacular Autumn Event is when the leaves change colors into gorgeous hues of yellows, golds, oranges and reds.
This is a resubmit of a shot I took last year on a drive of the Alpine Loop near Sundance, Utah. I touched it up a bit in PS before submitting it this second time.
