A little bit to the east of the Rocky Mountains lies the Brainard Lake Recreation Area, a stunning slice of wilderness at over 10,000 feet above sea level.
Liz and I paid a couple of visits to this high altitude wonderland during our two week stay in Colorado, and enjoyed a variety of weather conditions from thunderstorms to bright sunshine as we hiked around Lake Brainard.
This photo shows a rare period of calm, allowing the peaks of the high Rocky mountains to reflect in the surface of the water, with the drama of the scence enhanced by a monochrome conversion.
