Description
To Purchase this image as an exclusive limited edition print, please click HEREIt's only the middle of october, but the wind on the high alpine tundra carries winter on its breath. A bull elk and his harem spend the morning grazing on whats left of the grasses of an extremely short summer. Longs Peak, one of Colorado's most famous "fourteeners" is already covered in a blanket of snow. Low lying clouds, caused by temperature inversion, are stuck in the lower valleys, completing as perfect a scene as I can imagine.
Elk (Cervus canadensis) - Rocky Mountain National Park - Colorado

Yeah, I spend A LOT of time waiting for scenes like this, and every once in a great while the waiting pays off. I'm really glad you like it!

yeah, your waiting def pays off,
don't stop, because i think patience
is very important, and in waiting,
you probably have a lot of time to
just take in LIFE, and be at peace
with yourself? i dont know, but thats
the feeling i get when i look at this
right here :]
