It's fun to explore Open Space land throughout the Boulder, Colorado area, much of which is wetlands or meadows. Boulder County's Parks and Open Space program was started in the mid-1960s by people interested in protecting land from rapid development. At that time, there were fewer than 130,000 people living in Boulder County. Now, there are nearly 300,000. Today, Boulder County owns or oversees almost 94,000 acres of open space. On a bone-chillingly cold January morning, this image was captured on some of that land. The view faces west, and includes some of the high peaks in the Indian Peaks Wilderness and surrounding areas.

Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA, I'm a nature and landscape photographer primarily focused on the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Working in both color and black and white, I use a variety of photographic techniques to capture the many moods of mountain landscapes, from intimate perspectives to grand vistas, in locations both iconic and seldom-visited. My goal is to produce images with vivid colors, high dynamic range, and compelling compositions. Longer lens focal lengths are preferred to bring the viewer closer into the scene, requiring every available pixel to help tell the story. Thank you for visiting the site. I hope you enjoy my work.
