Remember when your grandpa took you horseback riding in the hills? The world seemed golden and magical - and had a warmth that's hard to find when you grow older. The photo was taken near Stanley, Idaho Now the technical side. This photo was taken into Photoshop. I copied it into a new layer and did a slight gaussian blur on the copy (value=10). I pulled up the Hue/Saturation dialog and checked the Colorize check box and set the hue for a warm earthy color. Then I set the blending mode for the copied layer to "overlay" and reduced the layer's opacity slightly. That's what gives this photo the dreamlike quality it has. Hope you enjoy.
