Long's Peak is in the northern Colorado Rockies in Rocky Mountain National Park. At 14,256 feet, (4346 m) it is the highest peak in the park and is recognizable by the notch on its south side. Many years ago (1979) I climbed the peak with a friend (the second PIP is from that climb), the only Colorado fourteener I've climbed.

Lily Lake is in Rocky Mountain National Park south of the town of Estes Park, Long's Peak, the highest peak in the park at over 14,000 feet, is west of the lake. Long's Peak is the peak with the notch on the left side. Mount Meeker lies to its south.

This is Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park just south of the town of Estes Park. We walked around there after heading south along highway 7.

My brothers and I arrived at our destination in Colorado in the afternoon, set up camp, had our evening meal and a few hours' sleep and then headed up to Maroon Lake. We arrived there about 2:00 am and did some astral photography over the lake and then wandered around waiting for the sunrise. This is Maroon Lake with the Maroon Bellsn in the background and the light of the rising sun striking them. We some hiking and exploring in the area that day went back to our camp in the evening where we prepared for our backpacking trip.

This was taken over Colorado's Maroon Lake with the Maroon Bells in the background. Shortly after the photo was taken the clouds moved in making further night photography impossible.

This picture is not enhanced in any way. It was underexposed because the sun off the aspens was so bright, but has not been touched - it is as it came from the camera. This was taken with a Minolta SR-T 201 film camera with a 55mm Minolta lens on Kodachrome 64 slide film and scanned with a Konica-Minolta Dual 4 slide scanner.
