Crested Butte, Colorado

Overload

Autumn color stacked across the valley near Crested Butte, Colorado, with snow already on the high peaks behind. This photo was taken shortly after I took A Walk in the Woods. We were driving back to our hotel, and the sunset started popping off, so I pulled the car over at this swampy area facing back towards East Beckwith Mountain. When I started setting up, I realized I'd left my filters back in the woods at our previous location. My wife jumped in the car and headed back to find them while I took photo after photo as the sunset kept getting better.

Luckily, she found my filters, and I got the shot! Sometimes the spontaneous ones are the best.
