Went out for a nice sunset, got that and more! Some beavers on the Gunnison River ice in a zone I hadn't seen them in before!

The Wolf Moon. My monthly moonrise mission was a simple one from the car this month. It's been cold! That allowed me to run 2 systems for 2 different shots (Pentax Crop SLR and FujiFilm MF mirrorless). Which do you prefer? Can you tell which is which?

I did a little ski tour last night to get this view of the Crested Butte torchlight parade and fireworks. A chilly but beautiful evening in the mountains. This is a composite to get everything into one shot. Happy New Year!

Going over my images from this year I keep coming back to this one so I'm going to call it my best landscape photo of 2024.
Not easy to get to but worth the couple hours of skiing!

Shadows cast by sunlight through aspen trees on to virgin snow forming a mesmerizing pattern.

Blue Mesa has some beaches that can be pretty photogenic. Winding shorelines and driftwood when the light is right can make for some great subjects, especially in mono.

Nice. I know this perspective well. I'm also within three hours from GSDNP and try to get down there every so often myself. I'd like to try a little backpack trip sometime. Maybe this spring...

Small town, big tree. Gunnison, Co looks like it could be Whoville when we celebrate our Night of Lights.

Crowds fill the streets of Gunnison, Colorado to witness the lighting of the enormous Christmas tree on a cold winter night for the anual Night of Lights celebration.

It's been pretty cold around here lately which has given us some interesting ice along the Gunnison River. I feel like I can revisit these places many times when conditions are favorable because it is always changing.

When it gets cold enough before the river is all frozen over it produces steam. Worth venturing out into the cold (-22F/-30C) morning to grab a few pics last weekend.

Great shot!
I use it regularly in autumn and I've never seen the show either.

It's the best! Also sometimes the worst, lol.

What a difference a day makes! Dry dirt here yesterday.
Luna approves.

Ice life
A shot from some local wild ice skating over the weekend. You know the ice is fresh if there are people boating nearby! 🙂

Is this thing on? Hello?
My first post here. This is a photo I took while skating on Friday evening. It was a nice piece of ice nearby but I think today's winds might have finished it ahead of the incoming snow.
