Description

f4.5, 1/3000 sec., aperture priority, 3/07/2004, ISO 100, lens focal length 73mm., 100 mph winds on the front range of the Rockies thrust ice crystals high into the upper atmosphere. When the sun was 29 degrees above the horizon at 9:15 a.m., the light refraction through the high ice clouds was breathtaking. Kawuneeche Visitor's Center, RMNP, near Grand Lake, Colorado.

So Beautiful....my interpretation of this image is "Capturing a Glimpse of Heaven" #414880

Thanks for your kind comments. I hope this is not a once-in-a-lifetime experience. (But, it might be!) I'd like to see this atmospheric again. #415100
