The colors...

...are incredible here! All these shades of pink the sunset created, the top in dazzling gold color, plus the blue of the ice and the sky...what a composition!

Re: The colors...

Well this one Eric was more about pacing in the cold while Jackie was wondering if something had happened to me. I left the tent 15 minutes too early and that seemed like a long time while waiting for the sunset.

The day before Jackie and I had climbed part way up the low ridge near base camp to try and photograph the sunset. I left too late and missed it. So I made sure that I would be ready to catch the next one.

In the future I may do more planning around the photographs than the climbing and bring more equipment etc.

Awesome shot

Great photo. Beautiful colors and composition. What kind of camera were you shooting with?

Re: Awesome shot

Thank you BLong. I'm fairly sure all my shots that I have up are from my Panasonic LX3. It's a great little camera with a very fast lens and it's very light.
