Colorado 14er Castle Peak as seen from the summit of Cathedral Peak at sunrise this past weekend.

The color and light cast upon these high Colorado peaks keeps my drive going and feeds my passion. Hope y’all dig it! Another one in my series to photograph sunrises and sunsets from high Colorado peaks.
