This is a spot you have seen me share pictures from before but, goodness, this Saturday it was a particularly awesome view.

The sun was just starting to creep over the horizon in the east. To the west, this is the view that unfolded over a historical farm. Above, the clouds glowed in pastel-colored pinks and oranges. On the horizon, the Rocky Mountains with Mount Meeker and Longs Peak standing tall and proud just behind and to the left of the barn.

Beautiful!

It is with good reason that when I am photographing in the Longmont area, I usually time my arrival to coincide with sunrise at this spot.
