After a very hard summer of work last year, we spent the month of October chasing the fall colors from Colorado to New England. Hopefully we will be able to do it again in a few months!
We happened to hit the Maroon Bells Wilderness area on a perfect autumn day when the Aspens were just spectacular. The high peak to the left is Pyramid Peak, 14, 025 feet and is the 47th highest mountain in Colorado. In the middle is Maroon Peak at 14, 146 feet and is Colorado’s 27th highest peak and to the right is North Maroon Peak, 14,019 feet coming in as Colorado’s 50th highest.
Unlike most mountains in Colorado, the Bells are composed of sedimentary mudstone that hardened into rock over millions of years. Mudstone is weak and fractures easily, making any climb up these mountains very dangerous and numerous people have died in attempts. The mudstone is responsible for giving the Bells their distinctive maroon color that is more noticeable at certain times of the day.
Spent some time this week putting a ton of miles on the car in Colorado. I have been wanting to visit this site for awhile now and I finally had the chance to do it. The day we arrived, the weather provided blue skies but the weather can change quickly in a valley like this. I’m told this is the most photographed spot in Colorado. These “Bells” or mountains are both 14k feet high. This one lone stray cloud came swooping in while I was setting up this shot. We hiked past the lake for a little bit but never made it to Crater Lake down the path. The Aspens were in full bloom this week. I kept studying which week might be best to see it. Some of my research was to look at hotel prices to see when they were spiking. This proved to me a good measuring stick. Overall I was extrememly happy with my travels. We covered alot of ground and this was one of the highlights. I have to say this rivaled the Tunnel View of Yosemite for me in terms of being an impressive view to witness in person.

I was listening to "Marooned" by Pink Floyd while working on this image. One thing kind of led to another. An adult beverage may have been involved.
Here's the inspiration.

Marooned n’est pas destinée à être une « belle image »
Elle symbolise l’abandon
Elle parle de ceux qui se sentent abandonnées sur les rivages rocailleux du temps
Sous des ciels vidés de leur couleurs

Marooned is not intended to be a "beautiful image";
It symbolizes the abandonment
It speaks of those that feel abandoned on the rocky shores of time,
Under the skies emptied of their color. Patrice

Another place checked off the bucket list. We debated on whether to go for sunrise and decided it against it because neither one of us wanted to deal with the hoards of people that flock to this spot to get the iconic shot. Instead, we drove there one evening and enjoyed a nice stroll without all the crowds. While not the iconic sunrise shot, it sure was pretty with all the autumn colors.
Happy Hump Day!!!

Aspen, Colorado
The Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains, Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, separated by about half a kilometer. The mountains are on the border between Pitkin County and Gunnison County, Colorado, United States, about 19 kilometres southwest of Aspen. Both peaks are fourteeners.
Sunrise at Maroon Bells, Colorado
For a brief time, between twilight and the full light of the rising sun, the mountains of Maroon Bells take on a distinctive, but slight, maroon tinge. This can be seen here, and the maroon tinge changes to yellow when the sun rises above the mountains, as seen in the next photograph. Both photographs have the same color balance, although the exposure settings are different.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Maroon Bells near Aspen is very cool at the moment Alpin light hits, but a short time later the scene turns much brighter and the greens help define the distinct V shape of the reflections.
Maroon lake with Pyramid peak and Maroon Bells behind it. I like this picture because it's different from the typical Maroon Bells shot and I love the color of the water.
Here's an orchid that I bought at the supermarket, seen in a 50-frame focus stack. Behind it is a swatch of blue sequined fabric.
Maroon-bellied Parakeet is primarily a species of southeastern Brazil, though it also ranges into Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay. The maroon belly patch is indeed a distinctive feature of this species. These are gregarious birds, and we saw them most days on my Brazil birding trip. The individual in this photograph was at Eco Lodge Itororó above the city of Nova Friburgo in Rio de Janeiro State. Fun to see!

Knowing that snow/rain was coming for the next morning and we might not be able to photograph it at morning light. My husband and I decided to try sunset. Lucky we got a little color in the clouds. The wind was blowing and it was freezing but so beautiful!
In the midst of the chaos, we pray for peace.
All condolences go to the people who lost their loved ones any where.

That morning was unexpectedly cold. Cold, wet and misty. Almost nothing to see around. A complete feeling of isolation. The only one band may accompany this

Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
I will end my Colorado adventure at one of my favorite spots in the world. The Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains southwest of Aspen, Colorado comprising a series of distinctively bell shaped wine-colored peaks towering 14,000 feet above the pristine glacial Maroon Creek Valley.
Bombay Beach, California
In the 1950s and '60s, Bombay Beach in California was a thriving resort. Guests swam, water-skied, and golfed during the day, then headed to the yacht club to party into the night.
Now, Bombay Beach is a bleached, rusted, abandoned wasteland. The water smells of salt, petrol, and rotting fish. The shores, once lined with sunbathers, are covered in green sludge and desiccated fish carcasses. It's an apocalyptic landscape.
