"I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with the nonhuman world and somehow survives...Paradox and bedrock."-Edward Abbey

Alpine Frolics [In Pictures]


Looking down at the Santiago Mill...



Gratuitous Colorado wildflower shot...


An example of nature's sense of reclamation...

***



Jones Pass...


Looking back at Red Mountain...


The screaming tree...

***



Pass Lake...



Campsite Peek-a-boo...


And then, cocktail hour...



Sunset...



Daylight's fading...



Come morning...



Clouds, reflected...

The words are forthcoming....

  1. Damn nice pictures, Robbie. What was your elevation on some of those? Perhaps you'll tell us with the wordy post.....
    Did you get any of the weather we had the last day or two, with snow above 8K?

    1. Thank you. Most of these were above timberline. Pass Lake is almost at twelve-thousand.

      It rained, quite unexpectedly, Friday for about six hours straight. One forecaster postulated this was because there's been so much moisture on the ground from our already wet summer. No word of snow here yet, but as cool as it's gotte at night, I'm sure it's coming.
