Weekly Photo Challenge: High Angle

Last Thursday's photo challenge over at A Step in the Journey was to shoot from a high angle.  The weekend before, I had numerous chances to shoot from high angles.  You see, I drove to Copper Mountain, CO for the Warrior Dash and this year I decided to avoid the Denver traffic and take another route.  I had plenty of time to travel.  My race heat was to run at 11:00 am on Saturday and I had Friday off from work so I decided to spend all day driving.  I have always wanted to see Estes Park and drive through the Rocky Mountain National Park so that's what I did.  Amazing!  Beautiful!  Breathtaking!  If any of you have a chance to drive through the park, do so! 

I will write more about that road trip later, but for now here are a couple pictures I took in the park that I feel touch on the challenge for last week. 
   
I'm even above some clouds.  :)
Raining not too far in the distance.

It was awesome! This was my 2nd year participating and I have had a blast both times! I might do the one in Missouri in October cause I'll be visiting family that live near the site. Good luck and enjoy the mud! :)
