I was winding down from a long day of exploring Colorado's San Juan Mountains. My goal was to find somewhere to camp that wasn't high up in the mountains. So, I headed north towards Telluride and came up to this overlook.

The sun was going to set soon. So, I stayed there and started looking for good compositions to represent this scene in its best light. I got a few pictures that look directly south and off the road toward the peak in this photo. And then the clouds lit up, and a bit of alpenglow started on the peaks.

I like this scene the best because of how the colors in the forest complement the colors in the sky. I also felt the layers in the scene create depth and perspective in the photo.
