"The Colorado rocky mountain high... I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky; The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye... Rocky mountain high" - John Denver
John Denver said it best - there truly is a "Rocky Mountain High" you feel when surrounded by the snowcapped peaks of a majectic mountain range. This photograph was taken in late March of 2008 in Tabernash, Colorado, at the foot of the intercontinetnal divide. The peaks were gorgeous in the waning daylight and I love the contrast in the various shades and layers of light.
Mountain symbolism is manifold; they are seen as obstacles to overcome, cautionary everests warning of perils, lofty ideals pointing us towards the heavens, and peaks of contancy, eternity, firmness and stillness. Whatever the mountain image evokes in you, there is no doubt the role the great mountain ranges have played in the history, topography and cultural development of our planet, in much the same way as their symbolism shapes our lives.
