Mountain Thunder
Shot this past Wednesday on the top of Trailridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Standing at approximently 12,000 feet high, I took this shot, then hurried back in the car. Why? Well as the sign stated : "Warning! If there is any indication of thunderstorms or lightning in the area, you should not make this hike. Remember: lightning has been known to strike up to 5 miles from the thunderhead and as the tallest object, you become a prime lightning rod! This applies to all areas above tree line!" And now you know why. And as I sat here surveying the whole scene, like something out of the movie "The 10 Commandments"..... I did start singing "The hills are alive with the sound of mussssssssic!" I was awe struck, and this was a very hard shot for me personally considering my health as of late and the altitude I was at. I overdid it, but ya know, I think the price I paid was well worth it! Many, many more shots to come yet. Stay tuned! Shot Info: Minolta 5D Minolta 18-200 DT 18mm 1/80 sec f/10 Hoya UV Filter Singh-Ray CPL Filter Shot in RAW (of course.....)
