Here Comes the Sun

Friday, November 11th, 2005, as I left work at 6:30am, the sunrise was exceptionally brilliant. While I didn't have a camera with me, my wife, Suzy, got the shot from the park near our home. As the best sunrise photo yet, between us, there was no question about placing it at the top of this page.

Suzy and I hiked in to climb Spearhead, a unique formation in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, August 18th in 2007. With a need to start the approach early, 4:30am, we were one or two miles into the mountains by the time this beautiful sunrise finally started to develop.

On December 13th, 2012, I took a hike about five miles into the Wild Basin area on Rocky Mountain National Park. I wasn't sure how long I was going to stay out, so to avoid being out after sunset I got an early start (4:20 AM). This was the sunrise of the day.

The rest of these shots were taken in the fall of 2004, on my way home between Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Fort Collins, Colorado, with the next, taken at one of the ponds just off the I25, Fort Collins, Harmony Exit.

Just south of Cheyenne, Wyoming, is the Colorado Wind Farm. Wind energy would probably be more popular if it was a non-renuable resource that could be owned and fought over.

New or old, a windmill alway seems to add something to a picture. This one sits just to the east of Interstate 25, around mile marker 288 I think, in northern Colorado.

Nightshift Blues

Night fades with light of dawn
Consciousness all but gone
Warmth and passion seldom shared
Sacrifices beared
Companionship today at best
Waking up with cat on chest
Of this I did not choose
No escaping nightshift blues
