The last little bit of sun peeks over the mountian range. The beautiful light and the amazing patterns in the mudflats made for a perfect sunset picture. This was shot from the Glenn Alps/Flat top hillside using my 150-600mm Tamron.According to Google maps the distance is around 47 miles to the mountains
Funny story about this picture. As I rushed to get into position to capture the colors reflecting off of the snow I found a soft spot in the snow. I knew better because as I was walking I noticed that I could see a little sprig of spruce sticking out of the snow. If you didn't know that means that there is a hollow pocket of under and around what is a buried spruce tree. As I was thinking that I probably shouldn't step there I sunk up to my armpits. I'm 6'3". I didn't want to miss the shot so I took this picture while up to my armpits in snow.
