I love to photograph the fall color in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado because the Sneffels Range usually has snow on it which makes a fantastic background. Based on how the clouds were forming before sunrise yesterday, I headed to one area to take advantage of them. As I was leaving, I could see that a fantastic cloud had formed above Wolcott Mountain, so I headed to an area to photograph it and made it in time before the cloud disappeared. Enjoy!
