Afternoon glow

We have had a milder than usual winter this year, perhaps because of a weak El Niño, and that has resulted in endless days of low-hanging, grey and featureless valley cloud. Once in a while, the clouds lift and reveal the spectacular, snow-covered peaks of the Rockies. These precious moments are all the more beautiful at sunset, when the alpenglow bathes mountains and clouds in breathtaking hues of apricot and pink.
