When I got here I could hardly see anything through the heavy fog that blanketed the valley, so I stayed the night in hopes of getting the sunrise. It proceeded to rain, hail, and snow all night. I woke up to a clearer scene and tried to set up from a wet hillside covered in aspens, slipped and fell into some bear shit, and just decided it wasn't working. The sky wasn't doing much either, but as soon as I got to this spot everything just came together for a minute. It's nice when patience pays off.

Crystal Mill Sunrise Large Panorama
This is a much larger panorama. It consists of 50 frames merged together to create an overall image size of 208 megapixels. This image would make a fantastic large print.

Sunrise at Crystal Mill near Marble, Colorado. The mill was constructed in 1892 as a power plant for the Sheep Mountain Tunnel and Mining Company. There used to be a horizontal water wheel that generated compressed air for silver miners to use with their tools. Needless to say, it is an incredible place to visit in late September when the leaves start to put on their annual show.

Milky Way over Argentine Pass, Colorado
I love historic sites. Around 150 years ago silver was discovered right here. Blows my mind what was accomplished in these mountains with such primitive technology.
