Regrowth & Renewal

Spring time comes in early August this high in the Colorado Rockies. The flowers were just starting to bloom when we got there, and the snow had recently cleared. The marmots were thrilled, the deer were grazing on an all you can eat buffet, and as usual when this deep into the back country, all was quiet and peaceful.

 

The adventure to this location in the Sneffles range of Colorado includes driving your jeep through a rushing river with about a 2 foot pop at the end, navigating snow banks, and ending up at some old mines... if you can get that far. One of the few places besides Iceland and New Zealand, where you can still drive through rivers on normal roads.

 

The technical details... about 22 shots panoramic stitch. Which made editing this file extremely labor intensive, with multiple computer crashes on a system that was built to process 9GB files... I probably would have done more work here if it wasn't so cumbersome. That being said, I'm thrilled with modern technology that is able to replicate things never thought possible not so long ago. My grandfather would have had his mind blown with the possibilities.
