The first night we were at Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park this spring and the clouds just keep moving and changing and the light keep changing. Several different looks over an hour or so. This is one more image. Shot from Moraine Park Campground. Thanks for your comments or critiques.

This is a nice view of Longs Peak Richard. Wish the peak was a bit more prominent as it's such a unique chunk of rock. Really like the dusting of snow though, definitely adds some texture.

I remember climbing this when I was younger. Such fun...but the Trough scared the crap out of me. Not because of the location itself, but the crazy amount of hikers, which resulted in constant rock slides. Spooky stuff.

Ive taken many shots of the range from Moraine, and the results almost always disappoint me--its a tricky vantage to shoot from IMO.
I think a closer view of the peak might have been stronger--a lot of the surrounding space (especially the urhc) seem extraneous to me. Pretty shot though.
