I'm so glad you went. I'm still bummed about canceling my trip there in 2017!

I don't know what compelled me to create this image, just playing around as I do from time to time.
The light on the building made it work.

When I'm photographing a subject I already have hundreds of images of, I take a few minutes to change things up.

You can still be deliberate about your composition.

This is an in-camera 5-exposure shot of the Wrigley Building.

Fall vibes for #MountainMonday from @rjrock.bsky.social

“Road to the Peak”

The Cordova Pass road winds through the San Isabel Forest, where gold aspens lead the eye toward a distant, snow-capped summit.

#EastCoastKin #Photography #LandscapePhotography #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #Fujifilm #PhotographersofBlueSky

A narrow dirt road stretches forward through the dense San Isabel National Forest. The track, covered in scattered yellow leaves, curves slightly as it disappears into a stand of brilliant golden aspens framed by dark evergreens. In the distance, a rugged mountain peak rises sharply, its rocky face catching faint light beneath a pale, overcast sky. The autumn foliage glows warmly against the cool greens and blues of the forest, creating a sense of depth and quiet anticipation.
The scene captures a transitional moment—early fall, when the first snow dusts the high peaks and the world feels both alive and on the cusp of stillness. It’s an image about the pull of the horizon, the promise of solitude, and the calm that waits just beyond the bend.

So ready and happy for fall weather. It was #Stunday for me to wander around by the river and in the woods this morning.
