Twilight Glow At High Attitude

When we reached the scenic ride to the Continental Divide, Colorado, USA, we were just in time for the twilight glow. I think this is one of the colourful scenes that only occasionally appeared after the sun is set.

Nearer to the highest point (12183 ft) on road of Rocky Mountain, Colorado, USA, we experienced a traffic standstill. All vehicles were parked along the roadside for sake of capturing an image of a group of elk.
The directional lighting of the evening, though was soft, yet created a good contrast for this rare opportunity of capturing a nature image.

This is another image that I captured at the road side, while we were on our way to Maroon Bells, Colorado, USA. I was attracted by the colours of the environment. I decided to use the dead woods to form an interesting composition for this image. Going green is obviously an important issue for our environment.
