The evening sun shines through wispy clouds and casts long shadows on the rocky outcrops of Grouse Mountain in Colorado.
Details: this image, taken from the end of the Grouse Mountain Trail in Mueller State Park, Colorado, captures the last few moments of sunlight before the sun disappeared behind clouds on the horizon. The high clouds are the remnants of an afternoon thunderstorm that left the trail wet but well worth the hike. This HDR image uses three exposures to preserve the delicate highlights in the clouds and the detail in the shadows of the granite.
