Above the clouds

Beaver Meadows
Rocky Mountain National Park
Photograph by Tom Atwood
It's been several months since I took this photo of Beaver Meadows from Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. The elevation here is near 11,000 feet, higher than the clouds hugging the Rockies. What I remember most about this morning is not the majesty of the mountains, or the beauty of the valley and the winding river. What I remember is that it was 32 degrees. In June. Cold and windy. That's what I remember. Exposure: 1/60; Aperture: f/4.2; ISO: 100; Focal length: 70 mm.
