I headed towards Cottonwood Pass at about 7 p.m. planning to photograph the
sunset that would be happening at 8:20 p.m. With time to kill, I slowly wandered up the canyon and played
around with photographing the many aspens in the area.
There are something about the aspens of Colorado, ain't there?! ;) |
 |
The lighting on Jones Mountain looked much different in the evening. |
 |
Heading up the canyon and killing more time! A shot
of a small creek running unusually hard from the snow melt and a shot of the ever-melting
snow drifts along Cottonwood Pass Road. |
 |
At the Cottonwood Pass summit, but still waiting for the "sunset show"
to really begin. This reminded me a lot of the anticipation and waiting one might experience before a Fourth of July fireworks show! :) |
 |
The sunset began with some flair around 8:05 p.m. I like this shot of the
"Leaving Chaffee County" sign! ;) |
 |
Ahhhhhhh! Looking straight out west.

Just beautiful! :) |
 |
And just look at all the
snow that's still way up there! The
temperature was probably only 20 degrees and the winds made it feel colder! |
 |
One shot of me. It was a great evening! :) |
