This is the third in my series of Aspens. This was a half way cabin for workmen who was responsible for stringing telephone lines and maintaining them throughout the year. The cabin is over 100 years old. Nothing much at this altitude ( almost 11,000 feet) is ever destroyed, thanks to the cold weather most of the year. I enjoy photographing at altitudes above 10,000 feet. The sky darkens to almost a Royal Blue. Putting on a Polarizer filter almost makes the sky go black. Another four miles ahead is the ghost town of Summitville. Located at 11,500 feet. This is another place that can be an inspiration for photographers. It can also be menacing as I have been there in July when a very wicked snowstorm came rushing in. Leaving almost ten feet of snow and the road blocked until the end of August. I was lucky enough to leave the area before the snow became to heavy.

So close to heaven. I underatand about the magic of that elevation. The air is so different, clearer as well as thinner. This is a truly fine photo. If I can't be there in person this is the next best thing.

Wow, that line of aspens is about as golden as I've ever seen them. Lovely shot.

Breathtaking. I really like the contrast of blue and gold. I WANT MORE..... Well done Robert. Cheers Al.

Beautiful colors and contrasts. I'll get some repeat use from this one. The index seems low, let me see if I can bump it a little. I want to see the ghost town when you get around to it as well.

Incredible photo! But the clouds look a bit cut out? Is it because of the filter? I think it flattens the picture in a bad way. Meant as a constructive critique. :)

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

gorgeous composition, but the clouds look unreal... or maybe it's the sky..

Extraordinary shot. Perhaps having such a deep blue with the brilliant yellow is a bit too overpowering for my taste (I'd like to see it without the polarizer for comparison) but the trees themselves are stunning, and I like the way the line of clouds acts with them to produce an inverted V that balances the shack roof. Very nice indeed :-)

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.......!
awesome...the sky and the look of the clouds are really surreal. The composition is really effective and contrasting colours are great too.

Ran across this image on the welcome screen and couldn't resist. It's a beautiful image that looks like a place I would like to be right now.
A 10 from me and in my favorites. Wish I could give it a higher score.

Man! I never knew you could get that colour from a tree. We'll not from where I live.

Don't miss the beautiful colours of the rainbow while you're looking for the pot of gold at the end of it.
Other than the rather low resolution I think this is flawless. Superb!

i like the sky too, although the edges of the clouds and horizon along the treetops, appears a bit fuzzy? B&w would be cool too.
maybe the polarizing/contrast/saturation on the aspens, they look uncannily yellow. ;) in photoshop, in the hue/saturation contrl you can select "yellow" and maybe desaturate it just a little?. sorry im being very picky.
