A peaceful Christmas Eve at the Cabin

This past Thursday (Christmas Eve 2020), I snuck up to the cabin after work. I got to the property right a dusk. After getting the fire going in the winter quarters I settled in for a most relaxing night. I had wanted to play around with some long exposure photography while up there, but the moon, though not yet full, was just to bright for anything more than a 10 seconds. It was a peaceful evening with the moon lighting up the forest and the snow crunching as I walked around the Cabin. A fine Christmas Eve indeed. I woke up early Christmas Morning, with the hopes of catching a good sunrise at the pond in the Upper Meadows. After, I headed back to Denver for a quick, socially distant, Christmas with the folks.

A cozy spot. Fell asleep here a few times.

Looking North to the Farmhouse and Squaw Peak. Super bright out that night and the moon wasn’t even full.

Early morning light at the pond. Rosedale in the distance.

I was enjoying that stretch of road.

Morning light on Mt. Evans through the Aspens.
