My friend and I were camping near the lake and I saw a sunset developing as evening neared. The shoreline rocks and grasses became silhouetted as the sky divided into deep blues and reddish orange.
Photo was taken in the Cottonwood Lake area, and this scene was just off the road to the lake. It was hard to leave because around every corner was another beautiful shot to be made!
This formation is located west of Paint Mines Rd. and not part of the Paint Mines Interpretive Park, which is east of the road. It was taken before the park was incorporated by El Paso County.
