Red Mountain Stars

Here's the time lapse video of Red Mountain that I made last month. It was taken from the overlook a mile or two north of the actual pass. The camera was on a bluff directly over highway US 550. After darkness, you can see reflections on the trestle of headlights from vehicles passing on the highway. These flashes of light are either stimulating or annoying, I guess. I stopped the time lapse too soon. Sorry about that. And there's no sound on this one.

 

You can see the Yankee Girl Mine if you look along the bottom of the frame about 2/3 of the way to the left. Find the whitish mound and look at the building on top. This was the most productive mine in Colorado.
