Winter's Cloak

Falling snow and fog obscured the Monument's sandstone formations in delightful ways on this magnificent winter day.  I spent a few hours in complete solitude walking through new snow, waiting for the rocks to be revealed.  I never even heard another car on Rim Rock Drive, the road through the park, until I was on my way home.  Within an hour of my leaving, the upper part of the road was closed because of the heavy snowfall.  I feel fortunate to have been there when I was and to have made this photograph that captures much of what I saw and felt.
