- Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Until October 2014 I used a Nikon D40X, but now it's a Nikon D5300. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.

There's nothing better than reaching the top of a mountain!
ReplyDeleteI bet they didn't know either, but they do add a cool touch! Gorgeous view and a superb capture as always, Al! Hope you've had a great week -- so far, and a great weekend!! Pats for the doggies!!
ReplyDeleteLove this pic! When you told me you lived at 7000 feet, your winters must be long, eh?
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fantastic view and scenery! Now these people are famous, ;) - and truly it's a stunning sky watch!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoyed my time on Pikes Peak, but there isn't much air up there. Great sky photo.
ReplyDeleteEven though the people don't know about appearing in your beautiful Skywatch photo, they add in interesting human element. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Al!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful; nothing like that view and that sky. The silhouetted people really add to the shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky, dramatic clouds!
ReplyDeletePerfect SWF post!
Hi Al
ReplyDeleteLove this photo! I hope to climb Pike's Peak next summer.
We went up to the summit if Mt. Evans, 14,130 feet by car and then climbed the last 130 feet. Now that peak road is closed to cars because of snow.
PS: I think I solved my website problem. I eliminated a lot of third party links on my sidebar and that took care of it--at least I hope so!
Wow! What a beautiful shot! for SWF ~

You could almost reach out and touch the clouds.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
They have the look of people who are hanging out hoping that they make a SWF post. You have made their life complete.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, very well composed.
ReplyDeleteTop-of-the-world view!!
ReplyDeleteThey don't know they are famous! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
Gorgeous Al! I visited Pike Peak as a teenager with my family… it was the first time I had ever seen tundra. Such a beautiful place, I still remember.
