Full Moonset and AlpenGlow on the Colorado Rockies ...

2009_01_11 moonset 4
I went out this weekend to reshoot the full moonset over the Colorado Rockies. Unfortunately, some clouds obscured things a bit, but provided some wild AlpenGlow (reflected sunlight just before sunrise) on the mountains - the full-res versions of these images are gorgeous.
