Day 5 is raw slopes and clean air above the #PikesPeakHighway in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings 🏔️
Rock textures, dark pines, and a strip of blue water that shows up when you least expect it.
I chased the contrast between soft color and hard stone until the frame felt sharp and quiet.#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #RockyMountains #AutumnColors #WesternUSA #HighAltitude #NatureDetails #Amir2000NLStory #CanonR5MarkII #AMIR2000NLPhotography 3/3

Day 4 is the higher mood, thinner trees and heavier sky as you keep climbing the #PikesPeakHighway ☁️ in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings
Cloud shadows slide across the slopes, then the light breaks through just enough to shape the ridgeline.

Day 3 is wide open air, ridges stacking toward the horizon as you climb the #PikesPeakHighway in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings 🏔️
I framed for depth and waited for the one moment the distance stopped being background.

A person who knows all the answers, has an opinion on everything, has a certainty backed up by rational argument, has very little possibility of further progress. Such a person is unlikely to walk away from a discussion with anything more than a reaffirmation of how right he or she has been all along.

#Rivian will race the new 1,025hp Ascend Quad Max #R1T at #PikesPeak this week
The Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb is one of the longest-running races in the world, being held 102 times since 1916. Also known as the #RaceToTheClouds.
Rivian’s entry is a stock R1T – but with Rivian’s new upgraded “#AscendQuadMax” trim. This ups the torque and horsepower to 1,198lb-ft and 1,025hp respectively, much higher than the previous 835hp top-spec.
