Beautiful pictures! Thanks for bringing Lake Dillon back to me. I spent a few years there after high school, bumming around, working at A-Basin and Keystone, living at the base of Buffalo Mountain. Beautiful place.

This is very like the double rainbow Gooserock sent me out to photograph before I turned around to capture my sunset in my diary. You have truly captured it for us all. Thank you.

Re: Photo Fair: elkhunter (none / 0)

Oh dear....at first I thought it was winter trees in a deep fog. How long will it take for it to recover?

Re: Photo Fair: elkhunter (none / 0)

The shrub community recovers within a few years, but for the junipers & pinyon pines it will take 300-400 years.

Mesa Verde has a working relationship with fire. Since 1900 there have been an average of 8 fires per year, since 1970 the average has increased to 20-25 fires per year. I'm not sure what the exact number is for the park, but this area usually only gets 4"-6" of moisture per year.

The mountain shrub communities (above 7,500 feet) which include Gambel oak, serviceberry, mountain mahogany, Fendler bush, and various grasses regenerate quickly after a fire has swept through. This Mountain Shrub vegetation covers about 30% of the park. Much of what you've already driven through has been this Mountain Shrub community (notice the Gambel oak regeneration). 56% of the park is covered by Pinyon/Juniper forests. Notice how dense the Pinyon/Juniper forest is between Farview Visitor Center and the Chapin Museum. Pinyon/Juniper forests burn very hot and are very devastating (notice Wetherill Mesa). These Pinyon/Juniper forests affected by fire will take 300-400 years to regenerate! (to look as it does around the Musem loop today).

fire history

I think I could use that picture as a rubber stamp for work.

Bird Rock? (none / 0)

That rock is funny, it most certainly looks like it's flipping us off. You're very lucky to live someplace where you see such beautiful stuff. If I want to see beauty outside my window, I'll have to put pics of myself out there. HAHAHA

Re: Photo Fair: elkhunter (none / 0)

I like them all very much, especially as I'm a big fan of outdoor landscapes shots.

I think the double rainbow at Keystone is probably the very best double rainbow photo I've seen. I very much like the transitions from the lower right to the upper left.
