While Maroon Bells maybe one of the most photographed scenes in North America, there are many beautiful places around Aspen in fall time. This is on Hwy. 24 near Buena Vista. The light was bad. It’s the mid of the day. The sun was directly on top of us, strong and harsh. The picture comes out of it was pretty flat, but the view was open and the shape of the cloud intrigued me. I converted the image to black and white, brought the contrast up a bit, then the picture became much more interesting.
