Description A Sunrise In the Wilderness

Watching the sunrise from Mount Evans Wilderness in Colorado....life just doesn't get much better than this folks! Almost needed an oxygen tank from shooting at over 2 miles high in altitude along the Apline Tundra lol But in the end it was very much worth it as you can see from the end result! Thoughts welcomed and print to come!

If you happen to meet sb who is about to commit suicide, take him to these beautiful mountains, then all the worries will be gone. I am Turkish, and i live in Turkey. Here we have a lot of beautiful landscapes as well (not the ones in my photos and cell phone But here, in this photo, it isnt just the landscape you captured, its is also the sunset, hope, the inspiration of the bright places where the sun goes, the happiness and the both nice and dull experiences of the human life. The dark clouds are close, and it gives me the feeling that you not only understood but also kinda felt the sadness of humanity, at least at a subconscious level. And the shiny clouds are away, to me, representing the difficulties we have to overcome to reach happiness. They are also the guarantee of the happiness at the end of the day. Lemme tell you one thing my friend, go on, don't stop, everybody looks at this nice view but some see little and some see more, but don't only see it, but feel it, don't just exist in there, live the best out of there. Perfect photo, thanks for the happiness you gave me from thousands of miles away, have a nice life my friend..

It would be wonderful to be there to actually see this with my own eyes.
If I stare at the photo long enough I see the computer screen dim and it looks like the sky is moving.

Definitely one of the best landscape photos I've ever seen.

Hello.

I’ve featured this piece in my news article [link] . I hope you don’t mind it and enjoy the article, too.

I’m sorry if, by posting this comment on more of your photos, I’m spamming your inbox – I am aware that some deviants were featured numerous times, but want to be clear on what exactly I posted there.

Sometimes it really amazes me how much color there can be in the sky and how such great beauty lies in nature, the thing is around us at all times. this is an amazing shot. being in the mountains is very peaceful. the oxygen tank part made me laugh haha =]

So, you took the colors of the rainbow,
threw them in a gunny sack,
shook it up and tossed them out?
Man! This is an absolutely amazing shot!

This was taken in the summer, so I think I left around 4am or so, to get up there in time.
