Amazing shot! Not sure what the orange is…it a rock, sky or inside a cavern? Looks like leather! And the orange against the green and yellow trees, wow! It all looks surreal!

the smoothness of the rock and water make it almost surreal, beautiful colours, stunning image, makes you feel like just standing and looking, fabulous

There are a lot of contrasts in this picture but none are incongruous.

I think I’m in love! (second response)
I fell in love with Colorado on my first trip at age 9. Going to the mountains is going home. This is absolutely breathtaking and one of my favorite potd’s! Thank you, Michael!
