Old Winter Snow

Snow and Clouds, Alpine Visitor Center, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Remains of old winter snow, appearing like layers of white sedimentary rock, can be seen at the Alpine Visitor Center on Rocky Mountain National Park's Trail Ridge Road. The two lane road is the highest paved road in the country at 12,183 feet above sea level (or in other words, over 2 miles above Charleston level!)

    Beautiful composition Doug. Love the way it's light and fluffy at the top and hard and rocky at the bottom.

    How intriguing - it's almost surreal. As with so much of your work, I admire how you've so elegantly combined documentation and art.

    I remember seeing a wall of snow like that in Yellowstone a couple of years ago, you could see all the different layers, it was incredible.

    Great layering Doug, that fooled me into thinking the rock was snow. Doh!
