Transformed

            The high ridges of James and Parry Peaks (13,300 ft / 4054 m and 13,391 ft / 4082 m respectively) show the wind gusts blowing the newly fallen snow off, enhancing the potential for avalanches in the weeks to come. A storm the previous couple of days dropped 18 inches (46 cm) of snow, with temperatures around -12° F (-25° C) and wind chills as low as -25°F (32° C).

James Peak is named for Edwin James, one of the first classically trained naturalists to visit the Front Range of the Rockies with the Stephen Long expedition in 1819/ 1820. Parry Peak is named for Charles Parry, a botanist and mountaineer who explored the southwestern U.S. in the mid 19th century, and whose name is found on several plants in the Rocky Mountain flora (e.g. Parry primrose).

I like the way snow transforms this landscape by adding contrast and texture, seen best imho in black and white.
