This one is a favorite shot of mine from Ridgway, Colorado. before we did this road trip, I didn't even know the existence of this little town but when I started mapping out the places I want to cover before our trip about half the locations were around Ridgway. and when we were looking for a hotel we were surprised how few choices we had considering its central location. However, I did manage to convince my very skeptical wife that this was indeed a good location and so off we went to a small town in Colorado which we have never even heard of before.

We took a gamble and boy did it pay off, Ridgway is a surrounded by spectacular scenery of the San Juan mountains and autumn just provides a sprinkle of colors to make it that much more spectacular. I made this shot by stopping just by the roadside. No major detour or hiking was involved just the standard point and shoot. Nothing technically complex either just used a polarizing filter and picked an early morning to take this shot. That's all of my efforts, but the location just is spectacular, there is no need for much more.
