Thanks so much Roseann, Stephen, Clifton, Wally, Terry, Diane, Nobi and Debra! Your comments are much appreciated!
Hi Nobi, yes very early! The sun was scheduled to rise at 5:51am, we were up early to catch it! This was taken near the top of Trail Ridge Road, the sun peeked over the mountains right on schedule. Although it's July, it was freezing cold up there! #672840

Michael Khoury August 06, 2004 0

Hi Deborah...can't help but notice the similarity in design between this image and your 'Cormorant Conversation'...the silhouettes are in reverse with (one could say?) the trees replacing the birds....anyway, great photograph! #690725

Deborah Sandidge August 06, 2004 0

Hi Michael, thank you! That's funny, I would have never noticed that! I think I must be drawn to angles as Florida is so flat. I'll have to settle for rocky jetty's that look like mountains, LOL! #691100
