As I arrived at the Red Mountains of Colorado, they were a blaze with the dying embers of the day. Each peak, a testament to millions of years of geological evolution, displays layers of sedimentary rock in vibrant hues of red, orange, and brown. Erosion has sculpted the landscape, etching deep canyons and sharp ridges, creating a breathtaking panorama that evokes both awe and wonder. In this fleeting moment, nature's artistry is on full display, reminding me of the enduring beauty found in the heart of the wild.

This image was taken and cropped in from an 18 shot panoramic via my drone that was stitched together in Lightroom with some edits to color and contrast.
