Colorado Mist

Colorado Mist

from CA$300.00

Returning from a Colorado mountaintop, we’re headed toward town. Since sunup, the moisture on the grass has been evaporating, and as the atmosphere cools during this later afternoon, water vapor that was invisible in the air begins to condense into mist.

A cleft in the hills reveals mountains in the distance, and I’m at once enchanted. “Stop the car,” I shout.

The mist has created a filter that increases in density with distance. Close by, it mutes the green of the trees and hills. Behind them, the color of the mountains is more obscured. Those further back, seen through miles of misty air, have lost all color, becoming a dark grey, then lighter and lighter grey.

I have to take many photographs. Have to. Then, as we drive on, my patient companions make kind remarks about my obsession.
