The new contest is up!

I'll start it off. This is a photo I took on a Colorado trip my girlfriend and I took in 2017. We had just driven out through an 11,000 foot elevation pass in the mountains west of Denver. I had to stop the car to look back at where we had come because it was so beautiful. I've always been pleased with the composition of this photo.

Best I can do for the theme. It’s vendor road at harvest festival featuring buddy appleweed.

Great picture! I love the mountains just barely silhouetted in the distance, and the composition.

I know where to go to get a good one. Next time I go to the aquaducts.

 

[Mysterier]

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

I intend to submit something for this at some point. I love the road. Does anyone have an aerial shot of the road to Hana?

 

[arrall]

Went out to shoot some photos today for the first time in months, and I actually got a few great shots for this. They were film, so I won't be posting them until I develop the photos.

Each photo is excellent in its own way, @chinup.
