River, Clouds, Blue, Sky, Colorado

River, clouds, blue, sky, Colorado. Another bridge crossing the Rio Grande about sixty miles north of where yesterday’s image was taken. Right now the river is looking full and wide as we pass on Highway 142. The spring snow melt should be good this year. One of my favorite places out here. Thanks for looking. G

Rio Grande Gorge, Hwy 142 Colorado

Rio Grande Gorge, from the bridge on Hwy 142 Colorado, or as I like to call it, ‘where the Rio Grande Gorge begins’. The rock walls, here, begin to rise above the river, now frozen in the throes of winter. From this spot, I could hear the ice groaning, moaning and stretching against the rocks and bridge pylons, much as my joints feel on cold winter mornings. Thanks for looking. G
