Down the lane

            I am posting another older autumn shot by the Peak-to-Peak Highway on our way home as I dip into old takes considering global warming has done so much fake damage to the American West. This capture is just north of the Meeker Park Lodge and its little store where my grannie shopped back in her day. This high country fall is the pits after our disastrous late summer heat streak and single, quick-shot freeze. We are sitting here praying for as little as a tenth of an inch of rain. Bupkis! Obese probability! 

This shot shows falling aspen surrounding a back lane to a high country cabin behind Meeker Lodge where the Peak-to-Peak highway skirts the front range mountains. I found this in an old directory while cleaning out also-rans  and off-exposures to really clear disk space when I found this original shot of aspen near the Peak-to-Peak Highway. Now I can chuck this manual HDR in with my categorized, finished edits for storage. 

This outrageous shot was on another rather mellow but changeable fallish day. This screams of autumn's slow creep along the Colorado back-country byways in autumns gone by. This weekend, a new forest fire lit up today at Cal Wood on the ridge above Jamestown. Then came another nearer Jamestown and at Ward. Fake global warming all. I keep telling the forest service to buy the orange forest rakes and get busy. This day was covered by an all medium-dark yellow-man sky of clouding and smoke trailing from Lefthand. And yet Ethiopia planted 350 million trees in one day and is taking back their forests and increasing water availability. Who knew? 10 years?

I can't even take any new shots around here anyway. This shows that random life has long managed scenic footholds like this in the high country. This lane is on the way to the local nag stables. These are the finger prints of Colorado-tough, rough and tumble mountain life. Here, I am once again adding to my massive stash of edited  captures.
