From Colorado: Rocky Mountain Meadows

Of all the environments Rocky Mountain National Park offers, the most serene has got to be the park's meadows. One meadow I chose to photograph extensively was Moraine Park. This large meadow features two small rivers flowing in a snake-like pattern. The beauty on the ground is offset and complemented by the natural framing of the mountains, which is impossible to accurately reproduce through the lens of a camera.

Though there were many hikers in the meadow when I arrived, a quick afternoon "storm" rolled in, only lasting for a few minutes. This cleared out much of the immediate meadow, allowing me to get a clear shot. In addition, I happened to spot a fisherman out in the meadow, fishing in the river. I pulled out my telephoto lens, and snapped a few shots of him with the large mountains in the background. This particular photo, in my opinion, seems to personify the beauty of man coinciding with nature.
