Prior to going to our selected view point for sunset photos, we stopped by Roosevelt Point again. We had scouted this area on a previous day. Today we hiked the trail as far as it was safe to go, this time with our DSLR and gear.
Those with acrophobia or anyone not sure footed should not go here.
As is apparent in these photos, it was mostly cloudy with some breaks in the clouds in the distance.
When I was shooting here, I was thinking the first image, with its wider view across the canyon, was going to be my best shot, but now I think the second one is the better of these two.
Final sunset shoot, coming up,

They are both nice Ken! Is that a friend you were photographing with in the shot?
Thanks, Denise. The photographer in that photo is the oldest of my 4 sons. He resides in Colorado, north of Denver, loves the outdoors and landscape photography. He gets to engage in his photography hobby much more often than I do and he is a much better photographer, artistically and technically, than I am. He is also a music teacher (full tuition scholarship from the CU School of Music). His musical ability seems to be a strong indicator of his artistic side. He has sold some of his photographs, actively marketing them for awhile, but he gave that up a few years ago. We established a tradition of getting out on his school spring breaks for hiking and photography many years ago and now meet up at other places for such activity two or more times a year. I’ve actually learned more about photography by being around him on those outings.
