  • Just before the Memorial Weekend holiday in 2009, I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. It takes a while to plow Trail Ridge Road and open it once again for the season as it tops out over 12,000 feet, however usually by Memorial Day Weekend it is open again connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake. While they are working on clearing the road you can park and walk up the road, on this evening I did just that and after walking a few miles still didn't come across the plows just the work they left behind. A clean road and tall banks of snow.

  • It is always fun to head to the mountains and capture the fall colors, but also at that time it is fun to try new techniques to capture the season as well. Hiking back from a lake I came across an area of snow with freshly fallen leaves. I started to capture this area but then thought of using a fisheye lens which another photographer with me had in their bag. Using the fisheye lens and a tripod to extend out the camera over the area of snow I was able to capture this image.  As you can see the fisheye brings a different perspective to the image.

  • After an early season snowfall in the mountains the fall colors are given an extra element of fresh snow on the peaks. It had been a couple of days since a few inches of snow had fallen amongst the trees leaving just a reminder of the snow on the mountains with a crisp blue sky.

  • While driving past the Denver Convention Center and Denver Performing Arts Center it is hard not to miss the sculpture "The Dancers". There is always a mixed reaction to this piece of art. In November 2009 while walking around photographing during a weekend snow I stopped at the piece and wanted to capture an image which would show the piece but also a sense of where it is located. Trying to minimize my tracks in the fresh snow I took a view from a distance and thought minimal colors due to the weather.

  • As you climb on Interstate 70 west from Denver you will quickly find yourself in the mountains. After climbing in elevation at the exit for Genesee you are treated to a view of the Rocky Mountains which always gets your attention. After a spring snow storm in Denver I headed up to this spot to capture the scene with snow covered mountains.

  • I could have stayed in bed and continued dreaming, however I woke up early and headed to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Bear Lake area. After photographing around Bear Lake at sunrise I hike a little over a mile to Dream Lake. As usual there was a stiff wind, and once I got to Dream Lake it just started to howl. I didn't spend much time around the lake, as this was also a scouting mission for future trips towards Dream Lake later this winter.

  • During late September of 2006, I was exploring the Colorado mountains and the fall colors. It was quite unexpected but a heavy snowfall also occurred around this time blending the seasons of fall and winter together. As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado, I started to look at the landscape of the early winter and how the light of September fell onto the mountains. Normally the light we see with the first snowfall is a little later in the season and lights up the mountains in a different manner.

  • It isn't uncommon at all for it to snow in Colorado early and late in the typical winter months, in fact they are some of our snowiest months. With the storms at this time of year it is a wet heavy snow with plenty of moisture leading to large flakes falling. During this instance of one of those storms I found myself at Civic Center Park and as I looked towards the dome of the Colorado State Capitol noticed the snowflakes almost blocking the view of the dome. One of the biggest challenges photographing in the snow is to keep the lens clear of snow, which becomes harder when pointing the camera upwards. I was able to limit the amount of snow on my lens to capture this image of the capitol building.

  • Just before Christmas 2011 almost twelve inches of snow fell in the Denver area. As the snow was ending I headed out and photographed around town. The last stop I made was at Willis Case Golf Course in northwest Denver. The area was filled with people sledding on the fresh snow, and as I made my way out on the golf course I looked for fresh snow and trees to photograph. From a distance I spotted a tree which looked interesting in its location and when I got there found the fresh snow surrounding the area which I photographed and created this image.

  • During the initial snow on Friday February 3rd, I made my way to Sloans Lake which is west of downtown. Walking around in the snow I headed to an area of trees when I saw this one along the lake. The tree next to the water with the snow still falling is what grabbed my attention. One of the items to watch while photographing in the snow is where you are walking as the trail you make could end up being in the next picture you want to take. For this image it was not an issue, and I was also careful just in case I wanted to head back later to photograph some more.

  • A spring storm dropped some snow along the Front Range of Colorado. With the warm temperatures the few days before this the accumulated snow did not amount to much but even so I grabbed my camera and headed out into the city. Walking near the Denver Art Museum I noticed the reflection of a building with the snow still on the granite bench for this image.

  • A spring storm is not uncommon in Denver and as most people left work to get home prior to the bulk of the snow fall, I headed towards Union Station to photograph the accumulating wet snow. The challenge in this image was the wind as my camera faced in a northern direction. With the wind howling, the vertical snow would start to build up on the lens which forced me to turn the camera and clean it after an image or two was captured. After nearly an hour in the conditions I ended up calling it a night and left to head home and thaw out.

  • In Colorado there is always excitement for the first snow of the season in the city, even if it has been snowing in the mountains for quite a while. For the 2008-2009 snow season, the first snow was not until mid-November which is quite late. A few weeks earlier I captured the fall colors around the Governor's Mansion and thought it would be a good comparison to photograph around there during this late snowfall once again working the lines into the image.

  • Standing on Mendenhall Lake recently I looked down at the fresh snow on the lake which was frozen in my area. I have noticed over the past winters when in Juneau the different shape the snow takes which you can see on the ice itself in this image. As the coverage of snow varied I used this to build negative and positive space in the image created.

  • I have found there are many different elements in Civic Center Park which I have been able to use to build upon a scene which I capture. This image is indeed one of those as snow falls in the Denver which is framed by the Greek Amphitheater in the park. The position of the structure helps tell the story of the snow with the backdrop of the growing City of Denver.

  • In 2012 we had a lack of snow but more cold during the month of December. Late in the month we did get some snow and I headed out to the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver to photograph. As I was preparing for an image of the holiday decorations in the snow a free mall ride bus passed me by at that moment. The result was this image on a snowy evening in Denver.

  • It is not uncommon to see snow in the fall around Denver even in October. This was one of those days when a light dusting of snow fell in Denver overnight greeted with clear skies in the morning. Getting close to the ground I focused on the grass an using a shallow depth of field put the trees in the background out of focus. This allows the viewer to have a sense of place but puts the attention on the snow in the fresh spring growth.

  • It was a record high of 84 degrees on Sunday. It is spring in Denver. Yes, it snowed on Monday night into Tuesday producing scenes like this around the city. When I woke up Tuesday morning and looked out the window I knew I would be heading to Washington Park with my camera to photograph the tree I first found in a similar scenario on May 1, 2008. I did photograph that tree but decided to explore the park for a little while as the wet snow continued to fall. The tree above is one I first found in early 2008 and went looking for it in the snow. It was closer to my car then I remembered, which threw me off a little bit but after spending some time looking for a good angle created this image prior to heading home.

  • During spring in Denver and you will never know when we may get a late season snowfall in the city. This image is when a couple of inches of snow fell in Denver. As I usually do when it snows I head out to capture some images around the city and on this day headed to the LoHi area. With the intersecting lines of the freeway and the bridge I used a long exposure to capture the traffic passing under the bridge along I-25.
    LoHi-Bridge-Snow.tif
  • I headed out to photograph as some snow fell right around the holidays. From Commons Park I pointed my camera towards Union Station to capture the scene with the train station and city skyline. With the upcoming development around Union Station this most likely a view which will no longer exist in the future, however I am sure there will be plenty of other possibilities in other areas as the development continues.

  • As construction has continued around the Union Station area there is this view of the Davita Building which still remains, for now. I have been drawn to this perspective as it allows for a simple look at the lines of the building and the perspective of Millennium Bridge in Denver. On this day a couple of weeks ago there was a light snowfall in the city which allows the blueish hue of the building to standout on the overcast day in the city.

  • I was out photographing during a snowfall in the Denver area. It was a quiet evening however one of the exhibits at the Denver Art Museum was attracting patrons even during this weather. I set-up my tripod at the southern end of the museum complex to photographing the people walking by as well as the city in the background on this winter night in Denver.

  • A weekend snow brought me out to Cheesman Park one year to photograph around the park. As I walked through the park in the fresh snow it was pretty quiet with the exception of some dogs out in the park playing in the fresh powder. Making my way through the park I found a group of trees which sparked my interest. The falling snow helped hide the background in the park which let me capture just the trees as the focal element in this image with fresh snow.

  • A few years ago while at Lake Tahoe, I took advantage of the snow at lake level and went snowshoeing along the lake. With camera in hand I captured some images along the fresh snow. With a lone sailboat in this location I was able to frame the image to capture this along with the blue skies and snow on this one day it was not snowing in the area.

  • Just before Christmas a sizable snow storm moved through the front range of Colorado. As the snow started to fall I decided to head out and photograph in an area I had not been during a storm which was downtown Littleton Colorado. The above image was taken as I arrived in the area, and after spending a little more than an hour in the snow I left with a few inches more of snow on the ground as it picked up intensity during the time I was there. This made for an interesting drive home, but it was all worth it being out in the conditions taking pictures.

  • Spring snowstorms provide some great contrast in the Denver of winter and spring. Walking around City Park I found this group of trees showing their blossoms as the snow provided a winter covering on them. With the snow continuing the fall it wasn't long until the trees were fully covered in heavy snow on their branches.  This snow didn't last long as the temperatures started to warm up again during the week quickly making the snowstorm a memory to look back at in pictures and memories.

  • During a brief snow in Denver I headed towards Civic Center Park to photograph. As the snow tapered off the foothills started to become visible in the distance. With the fresh snow on the grass and the fall color in the leaves I found myself on the capitol steps to capture this image west through Civic Center Park towards the City and County of Denver building.

  • In early January 2009 snow fell overnight leaving a nice winter scene. Seeing the snow start to fall on Saturday evening, I planned to wake up early to get out to Washington Park prior to sunrise and see how it had been transformed. It was quiet in the park and as I headed to a tree which I found almost a year ago a slight chill was present but the beauty of the snow covered surroundings quickly made it go away. I photographed this tree once again from the original position and prior to heading elsewhere in the park I decided to try a different view of the tree from what I had photographed before providing the image Winter in Washington Park.

  • On Christmas in 2014 I headed out to Golden just after the snow started falling the afternoon. Being at some friends not far from Golden I was almost there already so it seemed to be a good decision. The drive out to Golden was quite interesting as the snow was coming down fast at times with the wind blowing. Upon arriving in Golden I was treated to a fresh blanket of snow and plenty of holiday lights. As I was exploring some lights in the distance on a tree I found the bridge and later this vantage point along Clear Creek which was a great spot to capture a snowy Christmas in the Denver area.

  • An October snow storm brought close to a foot of snow to Denver. As this was in the middle of fall there were still plenty of leaves on the trees. A tree near the State Capitol was full of color which feel onto the fresh snow and brought the contrast of the seasons into light.

  • February this year was the start of the snow falling on a regular basis into the spring. Heading to Cheesman Park I found plenty of people out in the snow with their dogs, most likely the dogs enjoying the conditions more than those standing in the falling snow with windy conditions.

  • Along the Front Range it is not uncommon to get a late season snowfall and as I watched the snow fall from my office window on May 1st I grabbed my camera and headed towards the park. My initial plan was to photograph at the south end of Washington Park, but as I passed by the lake and noticed the steam rising the plan quickly changed. I photographed around the lake and after almost completing a loop found this tree. By this time the snow had started to turn to rain letting the grass of spring show through the wet snow.

  • Mendenhall Glacier is one of the tourist destinations in Juneau. During the winter the area takes on a different look as depending on the temperature the lake can be frozen, or the glacier can be covered in fresh snow.<br />
<br />
On this day both of these instances were in place. With some snow a few days earlier the glacier still snow covered and the lake was mostly frozen. There were places where it was a little slushy and we later found out that on the day that this was taken someone did indeed break through the ice. The large piece of ice caught my attention here which is really hard to put into perspective without scale in this image, but it was quite significant.

  • As the snow started to fall on Christmas Eve, I headed out to capture the season with some fresh snow in Denver. Making multiple stops on that evening I ended up at the Daniels & Fisher Tower along the 16th Street Mall and positioned myself in a location to capture the lighted tree as fresh snow continued to fall in the city.

  • Snow was plentiful early in the winter 2012/13 season. When it finally snowed in Denver I grabbed my camera and headed out into the elements. This was the largest amount of snowfall which fell from one storm at this in the season making for much excitement to finally receive a good snowfall in the metro area. While I have some photographs of Washington Park and Sloans Lake in the snow, City Park is a park I have tried to capture in the past. Walking back to the area my car was parked I noticed the curve of the lake and trees in the elements which I thought would be the perfect opportunity to capture a winter scene in City Park to compliment the scenes from the other Denver parks.

  • As I was walking across the Auraria Campus during the Spring an earlier dusting of snow had stopped falling and the temperatures were starting to rise. This will any snow which really accumulated on the sidewalk to melt. I had just walked down this path when I turned around to notice the scene of trees lining the walk with a hint of fresh leaves on the trees.

  • A couple of years ago I photographed the roller coaster at Lakeside Amusement Park after a dusting of snow. Today I was in the area and thought about photographing the same scene without the snow. It was a nice overcast fall afternoon which allowed for some even light on the location as I prepared to take the image once again for Thirty Days. For the next few months the park will remain quiet, however soon summer will be back and the Cyclone will be traveling these tracks once more.
    Roller-Coaster-Lakeside.tif
  • On this day in November 2010, a little snow fell and as I drove past the Lakeside Amusement Park I noticed the snow sticking to the track of the Cyclone. Stopping and walking along the outside of the park, I photographed some parts of the coaster which were above the fence of the park. It won't be long before this coaster is open for the summer and more enjoyment for the people who visit.

  • This was also taken a few summers ago in Glacier National Park and not far from where I saw the baby mountain goat. Looking to the east on the Hidden Lake trail in mid-July there were still patches of snow around Logan Pass and the trail took us over some of those patches as well. Now that fall is here the park will start to close down at the higher elevations as the snow will soon start to fly in northern Montana.

  • The City Park Criterium is held each year in Denver's City Park. For a good portion of the day races of varying levels took place around the park on either the long or short course for a set duration of time. The long course provides a scenic view of the boat house, city and mountains as the cyclists speed past. Due to some late season snow there is still snow on the peaks of the higher mountains. As the cyclists went past I used a shutter speed to show the movement of these riders in the event as they passed the location.

  • During a snowfall in Denver, I was walking near the Denver Art Museum and noticed the snow on the residences situated next to the museum.  The lines and angles are intriguing on their own, but the snow added a different dimension in the late afternoon.  I searched for an interesting area of the building and captured this of the facade on that snowy day a few weeks ago.

  • During a road trip from Sacramento to Denver with a friend from college I had the opportunity to explore Salt Lake City as he worked at a client site. On this day in October 2009 some early snow fell in the city which was interesting as the snow line was quite obvious throughout the city especially on the lawn of the capitol building. As I walked up the steps to the State of Utah Capitol Building I noticed the leading line to the sizable building as the clouds started to part to allow some blue sky to appear as the storm rolled out of town.

  • After a few days of snow a the clouds cleared and nice sunny day was provided for the Juneau area. With this change I headed towards the Shrine of St. Therese to capture some images along Lynn Canal. Earlier in the month with higher winds there were people out surfing near the shrine, however with the lower waves on this day the surfers were not able to take advantage of the sunshine. While exploring the area around the shrine I found some fresh snow still along the water low sun providing some late morning light.

  • In late April 2013, more snow fell in Denver. One of those nights I headed out after sunset to photograph and found myself along Speer Blvd. and Cherry Creek. After photographing in this area I headed over to Alamo Placita Park and found a quiet park on a snowy evening. With the dusting of snow the downtown Denver area received from this latest storm I was careful to plan ahead on the way to a scene as with this path in the park. Looking back towards Speer the path and lights grabbed my attention on another snowy evening in April.

  • You may not know it but the entrance into Glacier National Park once went over the Belton Bridge as seen in this image. The Belton Bridge was built in 1920 and for a couple of decades was the method to get visitors over the Flathead River from Highway 2 into the park. Now this is a walkway over the river and a quiet location you can watch rafters pass below or just relax. During a winter visit I found pristine snow in this location which made for a fun place to photograph along the water. I found this spot looking back towards the bridge and the snow covered mountains in the distance.

  • Just after Thanksgiving a good amount of snow fell in Juneau, and last night some more started to fall. With camera in hand I headed over to the Governors Mansion to photograph the holiday lights with some fresh snow falling. The mansion itself is in a residential area not too far from the capitol building.

  • You never know what to expect when spring is around in Denver, it could be 70 degrees one day and snow the next.  With this variety this makes it a great time to photograph around the city as the variety in color and potential for the snow in the city or mountains remains. On this day I was photographing around City Park and decided to make my way towards the golf course where I found trees in full bloom. Using this as a foreground I framed the city of Denver behind and naturally the mountains as well for this image.

  • It was five years ago today I first photographed this tree in Washington Park here in Denver. Just like five years ago it snowed today in Denver and this snow is giving us a little more than in 2008. This is indeed a new photograph of the tree as I headed to the park to photograph the tree as well as others areas in the park. The question is will this be the last snowfall of the season, at the current rate I would say most likely not.

  • Some of the icebergs are primarily ice and others are like this one we found in Northeast Greenland. The first thing which caught my attention was the amount of blue which was in the snow and ice on this berg. From there your attention changes to the details in the iceberg and in this one the varying layers. This all is dependent on not only the position of the ice in the glacier but also how it was formed. The details on this one reminded me almost of a sponge, but I also knew that it was much more solid than a sponge.

  • In the Flathead Valley of Montana the Mission Mountains sit to the east of the valley floor. This barn is quite known by photographers and capturing the scene with some nice light and snow in the mountains is what makes the image. As I headed up to the location from Missoula, I found a location which allowed me to position the crops for the summer growing season in the image as well.

  • In February 2008 I headed to the Glacier area for a few days of photographing and ventured into the park some of those days. The park is quite different in the winter with just a small portion of road open in the park, and the number of people you see being counted on two hands however it is quite magnificent. This image was an afternoon at Lake McDonald looking towards Stanton Mountain on some fresh snow which wasn't hard to find at all, well minus the fresh powder with animal tracks I encountered just after this location.

  • Driving ‘Out the Road’ north of Juneau I stopped at the Eagle River as I caught the low sunlight around noon on a clear winter day. With the recent snow and cold part of this river was iced over however the water still continued to flow towards the Lynn Canal. For me the river leads to the sunlight in this midday image bringing the two elements together.

  • Denver International Airport marked twenty years of operations in 2015. This was also the year the new Westin hotel at the airport opened at the south end of the terminal. On a fall evening, I took advantage of clear skies to capture an image of the airport at sunset. From a vantage point on the east side of the airport I waited for the sunset and the lights to come on in the main terminal building. In the distance are the Rocky Mountains and on some of the higher peaks fresh snow blowing with the high winds.

  • A new year has begun and I took the opportunity to photograph the first sunrise of 2013 in Denver. Heading to a familiar location I set up my camera and waited in the chilly conditions. I was watching the weather in the days leading up to the new year and it appeared the weather which brought a light dusting of snow on the last morning of 2012 would move on and clearing would start overnight. This was exactly the case as the sun lit up the clouds for a couple of minutes during the first sunrise for the year over the skyline of Denver.

  • This past weekend as the snow fell on and off all weekend I headed to near Larimer Square to photograph. Looking for an angle of the Daniel and Fisher Tower which is decorated around Christmas I came across a perspective I have not seen before while in the area. Using some trees in the area as well as the historic buildings in the foreground I zoomed in on the tower just after sunset to capture this image.

  • While walking around Downtown Juneau, I looked across the Gastineau Channel and noticed the low clouds on Douglas Island with the fresh snow from some rain which had fallen earlier in the day on the peaks. It was a balance of finding the right break in the clouds as well as an interesting scene to photograph and when a small clearing occurred captured this image.

  • In late summer 2009 I took part in a Team in Training event which included a final hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.  As we reached the summit of Hallet Peak, this was the view to the west as a storm quickly began to approach the area.  Noticing this we quickly begun our trek back to the trailhead but not quick enough as some precipitation started to fall including a little snow.

  • A little bit of snow fell in the Denver area yesterday, and with this precipitation I grabbed my camera as I went to some appointments in the downtown area. On the way I stopped by the Colorado State Capitol and ducked in an area to get out of the wind for a little bit, taking this image while there. Looking west from the capitol you can see the City and County of Denver Building across Civic Center Park on this snowy February day.

  • Just after the first of the year a significant snowfall came into the Denver area. With this snowfall I took advantage of photographing the B52 outside Wings over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. This was the first year holiday lights were placed on this large aircraft. I arrived to the location just prior to dusk I look at some vantage points and then started photographing as it got dark, at time fighting with the heavy snow coming down right into the camera lens. This was a nice addition to the Denver holiday lights list this year and hopefully it will return in upcoming years as well.

  • Over the weekend a fair amount of spring snow fell over Denver. With the warm temperatures many trees were already showing their blossoms which made for a nice scene to photograph. I headed out in the City Park area with my camera to capture some of these scenes. As I walked through the park I quickly found trees with red or white blossoms as well as trees already showing their leaves for the summer season. These colors made for an interesting contrast to the black, grey and white normally you would find in the winter.

  • On a November day in 2012, the afternoon and evening in Denver brought a mixture of rain and snow to the area. With this in mind I headed to Washington Park in Denver to photograph a tree which I have been photographed for the past few years. As I approached the park I noticed the moisture on the ground, the leaves and path leading into the park. After photographing around the lake I made my way to this area at dusk and spent some time in a new location at Washington Park.

  • Denver experienced an April snowfall which nicely mixed with the start of spring. Throughout Denver you could see snow on new blossoms or leaves which had already started to show especially with the mild March. I headed to familiar spot to photograph the tree in Washington Park which I first encountered almost four year ago in similar conditions.

  • I was looking out the window at the clouds moving just prior to sunrise. I grabbed my camera and quickly headed down to the Gastineau Channel just as the sun was rising for the last day of November. With some clouds around the sky started to light up over some mountains with fresh snow on them from the rain earlier in the week. The colorful skies lasted for a little while before the overcast skies moved back in for the remainder of the day.

  • Connecting the Commons Park area of the city with Lower Downtown is the Denver Millennium Bridge. Dedicated in 2002, this bridge has drawn much use as well as many individuals photographing the cable-stayed bridge. This time while visiting the bridge after a snowstorm I noticed the detail of the brick on the bridge with the melting snow adding to the scene.

  • Arriving at one of the more popular locations for sunset photographs of Denver, the sky was clear and the wind brisk. Soon the colors of the sky started to change as civil twilight passed. I noticed a few small clouds a little north of my location and thought it would be nice if those moved south to be in the image. It then came to mind this was the start of the system moving into the city over the next twenty-four hours which was fto bring snow to the city. After about ten minutes more clouds started moving in and I was wondering if enough clouds would develop in the right location for sunrise. As sunrise approached at 7:29 MDT, more and more clouds started to move into the frame and then shortly after sunrise the image was captured.

  • The Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau is a popular spot for tourists to visit in the summer. One winter while in Juneau on a cold weekend I headed out to the glacier and joined the many of others who were walking across Mendenhall Lake towards the glacier.<br />
<br />
As the weather had not really climbed out of the single digits for a few days the lake was indeed frozen giving the opportunity to walk towards the ice caves in a more direct manner than normal. With the end of the day quickly coming I just made it to the glacier itself and captured this image showing the size of the glacier itself. Even through the snow you can still see a little blue of the glacier.

  • On Veterans Day a few years ago there was a light snowfall overnight. As the snow was starting to melt, I walked over to Lincoln Park in Denver which is located between the State Capitol and Civic Center Park. In this park is the Colorado Veterans Memorial and today there were US and Colorado flags around the monument. With a low angle I worked to capture the signage as well as some of the flags which were on display.

  • Over the weekend I photographed in downtown Denver. As I was walking around at the eastern side of the downtown area, I would see Union Station down 17th Avenue. I finally made my way down to the train station and took some photographs on a nice spring day. It was hard to believe almost all of the snow from a few days earlier was gone and replaced with blue skies. The area around Union Station will also change in the upcoming years as it becomes the travel hub for Denver. It should be interesting to see how the changes shape up over time.

  • During a snowstorm I found myself along Speer Boulevard in downtown Denver. Having driven this street countless time I had an image in mind as I approached the convention center which was the motion of RTD light rail making its way towards the Colorado Convention Center. It didn’t take long for a train to pass by as a used a slower shutter speed to show the motion of the train as it passed. This image is the second train which passed by during dusk as the first showed advertising and the clean look of the white cars in the snow helps to blend in the image.

  • As I started on the trail from the Mount Roberts Tramway I was greeted with fields of wildflowers in mid-June. I started photographing the flowers as I headed further up the trail. As I made my way back towards the tram I found this grouping of lupine with a view of Douglas Island behind. Getting low to the flowers I found an angle which captured the flowers as well as some of the snow covered mountains.

  • A full moon which is always a great time to head out and photograph in the evening. Heading up to the valley in Juneau I started walking out on the airport trail when I looked behind me and noticed the snow on McGinnis Mountain. As the clouds moved in front of the mountain I composed an image and waited for some clearer skies. It didn't take too long for that to happen as I captured this image.

  • Fresh snow had fallen throughout Juneau earlier in the week and cold weather and clear skies soon followed for a number of days. Taking advantage of these conditions I headed out to photograph around the area. In the middle of winter this is really only about seven hours but with the low light it is easy to take advantage of all that time quite quickly. Stopping by Auke Lake on the way back into the downtown area was more so a chance stop at the right time as some color filled the skies over Mendenhall Glacier in the distance.

  • As I navigated the roads near Marble, Colorado I came across a lake with calm water. This provided a great surface to capture the reflection of the Rocky Mountains in full fall colors. Just a day prior some early snow fell in the area which still was on the higher peaks in the distance.

  • As the renovations were taking place, I headed to Union Station right around Christmas to photograph the light on the Wynkoop side of the building, just after a snow system had moved through the city. While the facade of the building has not changed much over those years the plaza and areas right next to this have changed as the project on the building comes nearer to completion.
