Rocky Mountain High

by Scott Hotaling

After climbing, hiking, and fighting my way up some steep snow slopes, I discovered this fantastic view across the valley at Longs Peak and the surrounding mountains in the Rockies. Fresh snow, great light, and a beautiful landscape made for a special image. I hope you enjoy it.

Equipment: Canon 5D, Canon 17-40 L, 2-stop Soft Grad. ND

Lovely image Scott; not something we’re likely to see in rainy old Ireland.
