Storm
Light Over the Cimarrons
|
|
I had been photographing fall colors for several
days in the Aspen area and the leaves were beginning to fall, so I headed south as a wall of charcoal-black clouds rolled
in over the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. For four hours, I drove in pounding rain to the gravel road over Owl Creek
Pass, in the San Juan Mountains near Ridgway. At last the rain began to ease off, and I stopped below the pass to work
on photos of Chimney Rock. Another photographer and his wife stopped also. After exposing some film, he volunteered
the tip that there was a spectacular group of red and golden aspen on the far side of the pass near Silver Jack Reservoir.
Gratefully, I drove over the pass and found the grove he had described. The storm clouds began to lift, exposing fresh-fallen
snow on the peaks. A shaft of sunlight found a hazy hole in the clouds and spot-lit the foreground groves of aspen,
creating a spectacular contrast between the vibrant, sunlit leaves and the still-shadowed blue background. I never learned
the photographer's name, but I will always be thankful for his generosity.
