July 28: Happy Cows in the Wet Mountain Valley

Custer County, CO


This is my second post for the day, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to show you this bucolic scene photographed about 500 feet below our cabin.

I half expected to see Jeanne's cow or at the least find John working away in the field. LOL.

These mountains in the background are part of the Sangre de Cristo range, and they very in height here from 12,000 to 13,000 feet.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1/800s f/9.0 at 40.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Home on the range...you've captured it well. Love the way the shadows of the clouds drift across the peaks.

Beautiful landscape.

Another beauty. Are the white areas on the mountain developed areas or do you have a mass of hot pixels?

Beautiful site, Robin - well captured. Planning on any cow-tipping later?

Great shot! A few seem to be suspicious of you....

I don't think you could have a whole bunch of bulls together . . .without a whole bunch of bullying
JeremyGood29-Jul-2005 00:59
Are these cows or bulls?
