First Bell

My first trip to Maroon Bells. I know this location has been shot many times, probably with better timing, but on a rainy morning this week I found it to be a wonderful experience. Some places are just like that I guess. I had one narrow window to make the trip that was about a week or two early for peak fall color. Just three of us with tripods set up in the rain that morning. I'm told in another week or two the three will become three hundred. Maybe the wrong day can still be a good time after all.
