This is Lion Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. My hubby and I got on the trail at 5:25am to make it the 14 miles round trip before the afternoon thunderstorms came in (with the first 7 miles being STRAIGHT -- relentlessly -- up hill!) When we got there, both of us took off -- each of us getting lost in taking pictures of the beauty around us. This is a candid shot -- me taking a picture of him taking pictures. It was one of the greatest physical accomplishments we'd ever done. We're all sore today, but quite proud of ourselves :)

Be assured I will never get this shot!

Neat shot, and I know from other alpine lakes that water is cold!!

Hmmm...14 miles round-trip...first 7 uphill...what are you complaining about you wimp, it was all downhill on the way back! ;-P

Great photo Sandy, very beautiful! I'll be going camping there myself in a couple of weeks. RMNP that is, not Lion Lake, the hike sounds to difficult. ;-)

Wow, a great accomplishment and an amazing photgraph to remember it by. Absolutely sublime landscape

The sky is stunning and the fact that the clouds are virtually touching it adds both colours and brilliant shadows to the mountain side

As ever, cool photography
