View on the Rocky Mountains at Loveland Pass. Made with slidefilm in 1989. So much contrast between snow and dark soil hard to capture. Corrected it as far as possible.
Slide 1989
======================wipikedia===========: Loveland Pass, elevation 11,990 ft (3,655 m), is a high mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado in the United States. The pass is located on the Continental Divide in the Front Range west of Denver. U.S. Route 6 traverses the pass; the road is considered to be especially treacherous during the winter months. A steep, steady 6.7% grade, along with numerous switchbacks on either side, make it difficult to plow the road regularly.
The pass is the highest mountain pass in the state that regularly stays open during the winter season. The construction of the Eisenhower Tunnel in the 1970s allowed motorists on Interstate 70 to avoid crossing the pass directly. Trucks that cannot pass through the tunnel (those carrying hazardous materials and those over 13'6" (4.1m) in height) must still cross the pass on US 6.
Loveland Ski Area is located at the eastern end of the pass, and Arapahoe Basin is on the west side. The pass itself is a popular destination for backcountry skiers. Occasionally during the winter, the pass road may be closed by a blizzard and all traffic must use the tunnel, even the normally forbidden HAZMAT-carrying vehicles.

The pass is named for William A.H. Loveland, a resident of Golden during the late 19th century who was president of the Colorado Central Railroad. The town of Loveland, which is not located near Loveland Pass, is also named after him.
Rocky Mountains are impressive. And this was in may. I celebrated my birthday in Denver and from there on we went into this place. Huggies you xoxoxox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRuo3frh_8E
Wow, what an incredible scenery... I so love this! Believe it or not, I have been to this place a few times. If you ever get an opportunity to photograph this again, or something similar where the foreground is much darker than what appears above the horizon, please try using a graduated neutral density filter to block out some of the bright light at the top. I think you will be very pleased with the result. I like Sunset Man's crop also.
You see things in mine and I see things in yours ... I think that is called 'Input' and/or 'Networking', (aka - Also Known As - 'Constructive Critiqueing'), ... :))
