Long's Peak and Clouds from Trail Ridge Road

There are so many opportunities along Trail Ridge Road, the highest paved road in any US National Park, for breathtaking views. This photograph attempted to capture one that literally stopped me in my tracks. When I saw this one, I hurriedly steered the car into the pullout and setup my tripod and then waited for the clouds to move over Longs Peak (the highest peak). Nature won't be rushed for any photograph.

As true in any photograph the intensity of this one is an attempt to match the emotion and thrill of the live experience. I adjusted the contrast and imposed a red filter in the conversion to a black and white image.
