Maroon Bells Colorado by exposure4u

Maroon Bells Colorado

I finally had a chance to go to Maroon Bells outside Aspen Colorado!! I only had one morning to capture the fall colors there, and it was a challenging morning! I arrived an hour before sunrise to lots of rain. There were about 20-30 photographers on the shore hoping to capture the Bells! It was totally overcast. After a couple of hours, most everyone left. Just a few of us stayed, hoping the sky would open up! It finally did about 4 hours later and I sure was happy I stuck it out. I am definitely going back to this spot again sometime!
I am so jealous! We were up in estes park last weekend, but where I REALLY wanted to visit was the Maroon Bells! Magnificent shot!

@ronphotos365 Oh Wow!! Thank you so much Ron! I sure do value your opinion and you just made my day!! Coming from Colorado, it sure means a lot!! I almost left, thinking it would just be socked in like it gets around here sometimes, but another photographer kept saying it looked like it may clear and he knew the area. Just last week, I saw a photo of the Bells and there was absolutely no snow on the peak, so I guess it was good timing with the rain and snow!!
