The collegiate peaks in Colorado
Left to Right: Lost Mountain, Mount Shavano, Jones Peak, Mount White, Mount Princeton, and Mount Columbia.
It is cold and there are cacti everywhere and I just want one good rock.
It's really hard to capture their scale, isn't it? This pic makes them look like hills to me because it reminds me of the hills near my own home, but if I look closely I realize how massive they are.
I hate that about photographing mountains. I'm at around 10.3k' elevation, the second mountains from the left and right are 14.2k'. In person they still tower over me with a sense of gravitas that photos never capture.
Yeah I just did the math and these mountains are 1/6th the area of my whole country so the picture doesn't quite do them justice.
