    This is wonderful. So sharp right the way back to the mountains. Shutter up? I love the yellow that leads us through the scene. This is such a beautiful shot. I’d love to visit Colorado one day. We get hills and trees in England but never the range of colours all at once that this landscape has.

    This is lovely; God’s earth is an amazing place.

    Quite beautiful and serene.

  10. Sue Gagnon Says:

    As stated above, this is a great landscape that looks like a Post Card. This is a very beautiful photograph, which one should come to EXPECT from Tad Bowman, at this point. The mountains in this are so well focused with the ‘yellow trail’, as with everything else, just a great composition. :)

    congrats, grat shot!

  12. Nancy Slain Says:

    Tad, this is inspirational. I am a water colorist and will try to paint this. Thank you! Aloha.

  13. Barry Lobdell Says:

    Tad, that’s a lovely shot. The title seems a bit misleading though. The light falling on the scene doesn’t look like a sunrise to me. I’d say more likely mid to late morning. This may sound picky but I’m really just curious. Thanks for sharing.

    This is gorgeous!! Its great to see sunshine! :) It’s overcast and raining in Cali right now so this just brightened my day! Happy Holidays to all of you! :)

  15. Marie Dunphy Harding Says:

    Beautiful scene.
    Seasons Greetings everyone.

  16. Katherine Lee Strassburg Says:

    Magnificent! I often dream of the golden aspens smothering the mountainsides. I could ‘follow the yellow brick road’ to this Oz any time and be perfectly happy. Thanks for such a lovely shot during our most recent blizzard.

  17. Tad Bowman Says:

    Thanks everyone so much for the kind words and feedback. I really appreciate it.

  18. mike mike Says:
