Colorado Aspens/Fall Foliage Flight

Post by photoSteveZ »

My wife and I flew over the Divide to Steamboat Springs for breakfast last week; I had a pair of GoPro high def cameras rolling, mounted to the wingtip and horizontal stab.

Enjoy seventeen minutes of the beautiful Colorado high country with the aspens in full autumn glory.

These are neat and, for me, nostalgic views. They bring back memories of the total Aspen experience: Walking amongst them this time of year with the sunlight strobing through the leaves and hearing the quakies rustle as winds move across the hillsides and through the canyons.
