New Years Morning 2013

I decided to preserve tradition and wake up early for New Years Day to head out to Westcliffe for some sunrise photography. I always seem to have good luck at the Silver Cliff Cemeteries; there's just something about all those old headstones and the majestic Sangre De Cristo Range that really resonates with me. It's a spiritual experience. This year, I made fresh tracks through the snow so I was probably the first visitor there in at least a while, and it was bitter cold--at least ten below zero. But I stayed warm running around catching all sorts of cool angles as the sun rose and the Sangres lit up. Here's a sampler! (mouseover for titles)
