			<title><![CDATA[Crested Butte In Bloom]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[As this area was one of the reasons for my return to the Butte, it sure was great to see everything come together.  Cloudless western skies with a few clouds floating over Mount Crested Butte was just perfect.  It sure made up for the dud of a sunset the night before anyway...  And with Lupines looking gorgeous (and relatively light winds), the scene was incredible!

This image was taken with the last light of the day hitting Mount Crested Butte from Washington Gulch near the town of Crested Butte, Colorado.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Mountain Cabin With A View]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Stars rotate around the north star in this night-time high-mountain long-exposure image taken after a hike up above timberline near Copper Mountain, Colorado.  The old ghost town of Boston was once very active in Mayflower Gulch thanks to all the mining activity - but not any more.  The old rustic cabin provided an old west foreground that contrasted well with the rugged peaks in this starry mountain scene.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Light Trails On Loveland Pass]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[I went up into the hills really early in the morning to see the Leonid Meteor Shower. I figured high up on Loveland Pass would be a good spot to get away from the lights of Denver and to see lots of sky. Unfortunately, the meteor show was pretty light. I saw a few, but didn’t capture any. So instead, I just went for a few night shots I had in mind.

I’ve always liked the starry night skies over snow covered peaks and this moonless night was spectacular. I wasn’t surprised at all to see several other nuts at the top watching the skies with me. Pretty crazy though – considering it was winter, it was cold, and it was 4 am. Even with the challenges though, I was able to capture this long exposure shot (5 minutes) with a truck going over the top of the pass that really lit things up!]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Golden Mountain Majesty]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[After a couple days of winter-like conditions in Silverton, I was itching to get out and see if any aspen color remained.  But with all the new snow, I lost a lot of my nerve in exploring the jeep trails.  In fact, I had to laugh as I passed a couple of the trailheads I had in mind for exploring as they were covered with what looked like a couple feet of new snow!

I was hoping I'd at least be able to score some color and a good reflection at a spot I had in mind right off Red Mountain Pass.  Sure enough, I really liked how the vivid orange color contrasted with the new snow.  And when the first light crept down the mountain and hit the aspen leaves, the color seemed to come alive like a light switch had been turned on.  This single exposure image was taken at Crystal Lake on Red Mountain Pass between Ouray and Silverton, Colorado.]]></description>
