Thank you all for taking the time to comment on my photo! Wilkerson Pass is west of Colorado Springs on highway 24. It's the road I take when I go over to the Buffalo Peaks area or to Fairplay, from Colorado Springs. The heavy haze that dawn lowered the moon's exposure value enough to hold its detail. #1719304Cherif Keramane August 15, 2005
Simply awesome, #1719532Roger Bernabo August 15, 2005

Hi John, thanks for your comments. I decided to leave the tiny buildings in for scale. But now that you have brought it up, what I could do is darken them so they blend in better! I'll try it on the next set of prints. #1721407Scott Pedersen August 15, 2005
