Stormy November Light, Moraine Park and Spruce Canyon
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
An intense November storm was moving into Colorado when I photographed this scene, and the diffused light from the cloud cover made for a surreal mood. The winds were very strong all day and were a real problem for an area of wildfire just south of Estes Park. In 2020, this area also had been ravaged by the East Troublesome Wildfire as a few of the burn scars can be seen on some of the mountainsides. In Moraine Park, some trees and low growing vegetation were effected so it was good to see this area recovering. The white snow dusted peaks set against the yellow-brown fall colors made for a beautiful painterly scene. Thanks for looking!
