Made for a beautiful photo though!
Thanks for the submission possibilities. :) Lovely photo.
Nice photo! I visited a friend in Colorado Springs years ago and took the train to the peak, but for some reason I have no photos of it. Hope you didn't suffer from the hail!
Hey Shannon,
Nice photo. Most atmospheric. What the hail!
Your links will be of great interest to those who are interested in your links. Always good to share links.
Lovely spring in England. Major thunder and lightning storm here on early Tuesday morning. Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar piddled on the carpet!
Gary :)
Gorgeous sunset. Our spring has been chilly and I'm dying for a nice sunny day I can enjoy. Thank heavens winter is over!
Character Driven Smut and Electric Literature have my attention.
And thanks for the beautiful sunset. I always appreciate the beauty of Pikes Peak, but this was lovely.
Posts like this always make me want to submit to everything!
That is a beautiful photograph - I am mesmerised by nature!
Nice photo pf Pike's Peak! It's so picturesque. I get a good view of it too although I usually point the camera west at Evans. Cheers neighbor!
That photo looks like a postcard, it's so beautifully shot. You should be a professional!
