Sharing photos, videos, vintage images I've discovered, and -- occasionally -- commentary and thoughts from retired life and travels.

Moraine Park Twilight

Moraine Meadows, smoke from California fires, 9-1-2009

The smoke, which enhanced the twilight in this photo of the mountains above Moraine Park and the people viewing elk, is actually from fires that were burning in California.

Dream Lake

Emerald Lake, Rocky Mountain national Park, September 3, 2009

Rocky Mountain National Park, September 3, 2009, about 11:40.  We are on our way to Emerald Lake, about .6 miles on down the trail, past the end of Dream Lake.

Just after we get there, the battery in my camera dies, and neither of the Emerald Lake shots are worth keeping.  The last good image was taken at 12:20.

We had parked near the Alluvial Fan parking lot and I had walked across Fall River Road to get a different angle on the scenery for photos.  This image is one of a number of thistle plants in bloom.

I’ve finally gotten around to completing the photo galleries from Rocky Mountain National Park and the Estes Park area.  There is one gallery for each day, to keep the galleries from being too large.

The two newest galleries are Moraine Park Elk and Estes Park area and Fern Lake Trail.

Below is the full listing as it appears on the Haw Creek Image Galleries page:

This post is being simultaneously published on Exit78, Haw Creek and Haw Creek Out ‘n About

New Photo Galleries

I’ve added photos from our September visit to Rocky Mountain National Park to two new photo galleries to my Haw Creek Galleries.  Because of the number of photos I took on the trip, I’ll be dividing them up in to galleries by location and, under that, by date.

The first gallery is Arrival – August 31, 2009 and has ten photos.

The second is from September 1 and is primarily from the eastern slopes of Rocky Mountain National Park, with 48 photos.  We wanted to take a couple of days to acclimatize at lower elevations before went up over 10,000 feet above sea level.

I’m working on the next gallery and will be posting more from other days of our September trip.  I also have galleries to work on from trips in May 2009, September 2008, August and September 2007, June 2007, and January 2007, as well as older trips from before I retired.
