Challenge: From the Ground Up III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5400
Location: The Hill Route,
Date: Aug 6, 2006
Galleries: Rural, Floral
Date Uploaded: Aug 6, 2006

In Colorado, a dirt road means fifteen miles of potholes, washboard, and quite often the exposed rock of the mountainside. Moffat Road, a/k/a "The Hill Route", is no exception. I went up (and with an elevation gain of 4,000 feet, I mean up in search of a certain lake I wanted to shoot and along the way found an old tressel bridge from when the railroad actually ran through - I think it probably last did so about 75 years ago since the hotel that was once up there was established in 1928. Hikers are prohibited from crossing it these days, but I climbed into the gully underneath it for the wildflowers. Alas, my blue skies were gone by then, but what can you do?

Yes, I think it's the most interesting flower shot I've seen in the challenge...I like the colorful flower against the dark silhouette of the trestle.

The pink color is pretty & it stands out with it on the dark background

Great contrast between the dark, constructed trestle and the bright, natural flower.

lovely, I love the color against the dirty, run down look of the tressel.

Nice mix of the natural with the man made. I like the intense colors.
