October Alpenglow
Not as colorful or dramatic as when there is snow, but catching the often fleeting moments of alpenglow is something I love nearly as much as the moon and stars. If you look close, particulary in the large image (double click on the blog image), you can see the gold of the turning larch (decidious pine) on the mountain side as well. There are still some weeks of color left before the snow flies.
