Nice little grove

of trees. Another

photographer who

lived in the area

told me that

this was the

worse autumn color in years.

I certainly like it.

a location

where it didn't

matter.

Day 5:

   Box Canyon Falls / Million Dollar Hwy / Silverton / Last Dollar Road.

1.

It's amazing

how bad my technique can

be but at

least I got

this image the

way I wanted it.

Only one of

many.

 Lighting in the

canyon was

quite difficult.

2.

Obligatory

 Aspen

Shot.

Actually it

took some

unique

technique to

make it

look like

this.

4.

Durango

to

Silverton

Lots of tourists

aboard. 

This was the 2nd train which

surprised us

because I don't think I got

any decent

shots from

the first train. 

I was out of

position.

created in

camera.

I love

mottled

 light.

Neat storm

in distance. 

Don't see this

when you live

 in a city.

This is why

you go

outdoors.
