I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday’s guest post. I know I did! Although he has great sense of humor, Mike is no joke, and it was a pleasure to share his story with the regulars here at LightAsMagic.com. One thing I forgot to mention was that he provides portrait services in the Phoenix area. Look him up if you are in need of photo services.
Today’s Photo: Whenever I’m traveling along northern Colorado’s front range, I usually take the back roads. Actually, 15 years ago I shot an entire photo essay along these very roads. I will have to scan the slides so I can share them. The few times a year I travel north, I still explore these roads. They are always calling me. You never know what you will find. In this image, I found a great view of Long’s Peak (Colorado’s tallest mountain). When I take the long way home, I just have to remember to make sure and add a couple extra hours to my commute. I would recommend everyone else does the same. If you have an extra hour, exit off the highway, and see what the ‘long way home’ has in store for you.
Adventure Note: If you want to stand on top of this mountain, you can! It is a 17 mile round trip hike, and it’s challenging, but the experience is worth it. Drop me a line if you are ever interested in trying it.
