Maroon Valley Backlight - a photo on Flickriver

Maroon Valley Backlight

            Hiking up towards two of the most photographed 14’er mountains in Colorado, the Maroon Bells, the sun started to be blocked intermittently by the clouds. During one brief moment, the clouds shrouded the valley in shadow except for a spotlight on the golden yellow aspen trees in the middle, providing a vividly contrasty scene. I snapped a shot as I continued my hike up the trail, having never explored around the area beyond the lake before. This was my first and so far only trip to Colorado in the fall, and while I think about this trip all the time and want to repeat it, life has provided many schedule conflicts. I hope to return because this whole state in the fall is overflowing with magic, like these trees in this valley with these mountains.
