The Full Cold Moon descends through the Belt of Venus toward the Continental Divide on a chilly winter morning near Boulder, Colorado. Longs Peak (14,259 ft; 4,346 m), the tallest mountain in the Front Range, sits on the horizon on the right of the frame.
Technical notes: The image is a blend of two different focal lengths, 80 mm for the landscape and closer to 200 mm for the moon. I elected to blend the two to better approximate how big the moon felt at the time.
Pleasant Valley (this place really is named that, heh) will be a busy place tomorrow with the USA Pro Challenge cycling race rolling through here tomorrow with some of the best cyclists in the world.
This truly is one of the nicest views I know that is nearby Fort Collins and a place we often visit for enjoying the sunset from atop Bingham Hill.
Have a great weekend ahead all!
Image Notes: image-blending via luminosity masking techniques was used to expand dynamic range. 7 exposures were used in total.
Colorado has some truly gorgeous geology. ;-)
Happy Weekend Ahead All!

DDC "Words of Wisdom"
If anyone can say they've come from a humble start and now reach for the sky, it would be Shyla. She was so fearful that she was unable to stand on a small town sidewalk without collapsing in fear when I met her. Now, very little scares her to that extent. You can see it in her proud posture high on a boulder in a mountain wind. Shyla's words of wisdom are to "reach for the sky".
I finally motivated to get out of bed before sunrise (next week will be hard going back to work before dawn) to shoot this field of sunflowers. Haven't seen a whole lot of sunflower fields in the last couple of years up here so thought we would enjoy them while they last.
They don't call it "Colorful Colorado" for nothing!!
Boedecker Lake down the road from my house - very intense sunrise. My favorite way to start the day
To some of you, it may be obvious that I've been reading The Lord of the Rings to my children. Nonetheless, the title seemed appropriate to me here because it is pretty rare to be able to photograph the Milky Way when there's a full moon. However, on this night, the full lunar eclipse that was going on in the eastern quadrant of the sky at the left of the image meant that the Milky Way was suddently quite visible for about an hour. So it was a double treat to be able to photograph both a light painted lunar eclipse with Bill Bowman, but also our fair Galaxy. The lights visible on the horizon come from the towns of Nederland and Ward, Colorado.

Looking west toward the Continental Divide and the Indian Peaks Wilderness, the morning sky blushes with rose-colored hues from the vantage of Davidson Mesa, near Boulder, Colorado. The Full Cold Moon shines brightly over Mount Audubon (13,229 ft; 4,032 m) as it makes its way toward the western horizon.
Happy New Year to everyone!
Technical notes: 4 horizontal frames stitched together for the panorama, then manually blended with a 5th exposure of the moon in Photoshop CC.
Sometimes you get the spontaneous urge to go somewhere new, to see a new sight and experience new feelings. A desire not bolstered by any plan other than to live life more fully.
saw this today, over broomfield, from sable and 120th

Evening stillness on White Rocks Trail, Boulder County, Colorado.
A week earlier when I first discovered this old railroad line, it was overgrown with taller grass and dead thistle. In the meantime, the property owner had done some cleaning up and the lines of the tracks were standing out nicely in the evening light.
