Description
'Peaceful San Juans Summer', a landscape photograph by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. In southwest Colorado, in the wilderness between the communities of Lake City and Ouray, lies a series of mountain peaks, rising from valleys. In the distance on this summer morning, Redcloud and Sunshine Peaks can be seen -- two 14er (fourteener) mountains emerging from the landscape. Pine forest covers the lower slopes of these mountains. This photograph was taken from the slopes of Handie's Peak - yet another 14er mountain. In a short window of the summer season, this habitat is filled with lush vegetation - grasses and other plants growing in the moist soils, and numerous species of wildflower blooming. Here, Rosy Paintbrush dominates the foreground.
