I'm taking a break from my posts regarding tourist destinations to point out one of the most beautiful features of the state of Colorado: It's skies. It seemed as if clouds were ever-present during my stay, casting shadows and creating beautiful rays of light. I found many potential photographs while on the road going from one destination to another, and had no choice but to capture these moments with the threat of creating only mere snapshots.
In addition, the daily thunderstorms often brought photographable weather, as mentioned in previous posts. The photograph to the right was taken at night during a thunderstorm outside the city of Fountain, Colorado. Setting my camera to bulb mode on a tripod, I was able to capture multiple lightning strikes in a single frame. Though Southern California has beautiful weather, I already miss the variety of daily weather that Colorado offers.
