Colorado National Monument – Colorado (2021)

Images of Colorado National Monument – Western Colorado, taken in June 2021.

Making my second visit to Colorado National Monument I knew this was a ‘sunset park’. The canyons and the monuments are all set up to provide dramatic images as the light of the day begins to fade over the horizon which in this case is the canyon rim. Adding to the scene, for both of my visits, were partly cloudy skies which the setting sun lit up over Monument Canyon making the landscape even more expansive.
