Motif: Snow - "Double Black Diamond"

[Gus Cobos]

My First Milestone - 5,000^th post.


Motif: Snow – “Double Black Diamond”

Note: circa 2000.

This is Aspen Mountain in Colorado; taken on one of the lower passes of Dead Man's Run. The slopes and banking turns are very sharp and steep.

This was taken early afternoon around 1:00 p.m.
The image was painted with an Nikon F100, 35mm film camera, using a Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D AF lens. The negative was scanned into digital jpeg format.

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

No ladies; I was too chicken to do it. I went on the bunny slope with the beginners and the little kids...:D The day before this was taken, I tried the snow board thing, but wasn't too successful. decided to take pictures instead..:eek::cool:
