Sloans Lake Colorful Sunrise Building The road was still in

The road was still in the process of being cleared for the season and scheduled to open in less than a week

As we approached them we had the open oceans waters which provided a backdrop of distance in this image under overcast skies on this afternoon

As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado

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

Sloans Lake Colorful Sunrise Building The road was still inl went to Sloans Lake on a September morning with the goal of capturing the rising sun over the city of Denver. When I arrived the clouds were covering the city. In the matter of a few minutes they started to show the colors of the sun before sunrise which I was able to photograph. The calm winds as well as a long exposure helped add to the picture with the city and colors in the clouds reflecting in the lake.
