The best sunset I've seen in a while. For a sense of scale look towards the bottom of the photo, and you'll see a dirt road.


A lot of you will probably ask about the color in this shot because it looks a bit unreal. I actually had to pull back some of the saturation in the RAW adjustments because the orange on the rocks was so intense.

Chimney Rock - Owl Creek Pass - Uncompahgre National Forest, Colorado

Beautiful shot!!! I love the color. Doesn't CO have some of the best sunsets? Now if they only made a camera that would capture all the intensity . . .

oh wow, that's so beautiful. I've never seen a mountain look so pretty! even the tress are really nice,
Are the mountains orange at all to begin with or is it all because of the sunset?

That is crazy Nate... (it's crazy that you had to do that)...

Very beautiful photo...
Deserves to be on my desktop as a wallpaper but it's too small for that...

Lovely picture, and I am glad we still have 'too unreal to be photoshopped' landscapes.

This shows exactly why I fell in love with your country. Nature. And especially the red/orange mountains and rocks.
A dream!

air pollution? you wont find a lot of that down in this part of the state

Goro38 In reply to Nate-Zeman [2008-10-12 15:29:12 +0000 UTC]

I was referring to the aerosols, dust and soot particles in the upper troposhere which causes these colours to occur.
It may be to overestimate calling it pollution since it's mainly natural causes to this phenomenon.
Bla bla bla on me, I love this picture and might just be a bit jealous not being able to stand next to you that moment.
