Evening light slid off the San Juan peaks above Telluride and the last sun lit the clouds a soft pink. I pulled off on a high overlook, set the tripod, and lined up the ridges so the dark forested slopes stepped you into the frame and the snow pockets on the summit caught the glow. Air smelled like cold spruce and damp earth. A breeze kept brushing my jacket, just enough to make me wait between gusts so the trees stayed crisp.
I watched color drain from blue to lavender, then warm again near the horizon. When the sky and rock balanced, I focused on the crown peak, checked the histogram, and made the shot. The light faded a minute later and the whole scene went gray, which reminded me how fast these moments go.
