"Rocky
Mountain High"
American
Basin - Colorado
Want to
get away? When I think of truly getting away it’s usually far away
from everything. American basin in south central Colorado is one of
those places. Because of it’s high elevation and heavy annual snowfall
it is only accessible from late spring to early fall. It’s not far
from civilization but can only be reached by rugged four wheel drive
back roads. To get this image I arrived here late one afternoon and
started exploring for good photo opportunities. The time flew by quickly
as I composed and recorded several images and before I knew it the sun
had set and I had the basin all to my self. After setting up camp I
spent the night next to this waterfall. I woke early to capture the
first beams of light striking the peaks. I had spent less than a day
here, but it was time to go, I had recharged my batteries but drained
all the camera batteries and needed to return to civilization .
