Howdy all ... spent some time sloshing around the overabundant
spring runoff at the base of the Sangre de Cristo range in southern
Colorado. I took very few stills as I have now caught the video
bug and am fiddling around with that stuff. But, I wanted to share
some snapshots.
The first one is an overview of the area where North Colony Creek
is spilling over, water making it's own way, turning the land into
an interlaced system of water running every which way. The year
round creek usually runs right along the top of the pic:
Next is a pic of the creek running in its normal channel. The
water spilling over the banks happens just to the left of
the photographer's position:
Taken from below the creek, looking straight at the
photographers position in the previous pic.
Next, this shows the area from which the water is draining.
The drainage is essentially the entire area in shadow in
this pic. The three peaks are, from left, Mt Humboldt and
Crestone Peak (both over 14,000 ft in elevation) and Colony
Baldy. Where the pics were taken is along the edge of the
trees approx 1 1/2 inches up from the bottom and and
1 1/2 inches right of the left edge:
Finally, here is a pic of the flowering bush visible in the second pic
with the creek in the background.
Lighting conditions
were not ideal, but that's why these are called snapshots
Spring is good !
cheers
