Loveland Pass, Colorado.

Winter has a way of lingering in the Colorado high country, especially at higher elevations. Captured at Loveland Pass in early May, this photograph looks out across freshly snow-covered peaks following a storm that dropped roughly a foot of new snow the previous day.

As the sun rose, soft pink and blue tones spread across the morning sky, while the first light began illuminating the surrounding mountains. It's a beautiful reminder that even as spring arrives at lower elevations, winter can still make a pretty impressive appearance in the high country.
