Top of the Peak
Taken from inside the train just before starting the descent, here are some folk enjoying themselves on top of Pikes Peak, elevation 14,115 feet (4,302 meters) above sea level. I bet they didn't know they'd be in a Skywatch Friday blog post!
I 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!!
Love 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!
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment - I love reading them and look forward to viewing your blog. If you only allow Google+ comments I won't be able to leave a comment in return.
There's nothing better than reaching the top of a mountain!

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!

You could almost reach out and touch the clouds.

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.
