Medicine Bow Sunset

Sunset over the mountains fire brilliant shades of orange and red lacing though the trees colors disappearing.. ....reappearing, with every twist of the winding pass each turn unveiling new colors bolder, brighter than before Sun's rays dedcending radiant golden beams caressing snow capped peaks tickling aspen leaves until they shudder bright gold disks sparkling, dancing Hues darken, turning deep blue, purple and black as night advances orange and red fading as they outline the softening peaks. Late evening storm clouds roll into the valley flash of lightening, blinding clap of thunder, rumbling stars peer though the encroaching darkness winking in merriment. God's country, Daddy's playground. Note: Medicine Bow Mountain Range, over Cameron Pass, in the northern Colorado Rockies- where my Father rests...

Absolutely stunning. Brilliant imagery. What a place! And what an incredible resting place for your dad, and for you to visit him there. Got chills at the end of this, reading your note. Love, Shar
