Check out some dirt roads
County Road 44H & 63E

County Road 44h










This photo was a straight point and click. The one below was a point towards the high horizon / sky, 1/2 click to set the camera, then move down and finish the shot.

By pointing towards the lighter sky the camera would "darken" the photo allowing better cloud / sky detail while ground detail would again be darker.

I like the ground detail of the upper photo and the sky detail of the lower photo.



















Not positive of the respective peaks but from left to right it might go like this:
Ramsey Peak (11,582'), Skull Point (12,056'), Fall Mountain (12,258'), Comanche Peak (12,702')

Standing in the Roosevelt National Forest, looking South across the Commanche Peak Wilderness. The back side of those mountains is Rocky Mountain National Park.







IIRC this is one of Colorado State Universities field campuses.
Years back a fire rolled through the area and took out the trees and buildings.







Back at Colorado Route 14 and the Cache La Poudre River.
