These are some from the road yesterday on the longest day of 2017. I got up early in Canon City, Colorado and went up the Arkansas river that was running at just about full blast. I then headed to Ouray Colo. and decided not to go over the busy Monarch pass, but instead leave the beaten path and go over Poncha pass and into Saguache Colo and head over the always quiet and peaceful Cochetopa pass. After I was done with Ouray I went up to I-70 into Grand Junction and the temperature was 100 degrees and at that altitude being closer to the sun a 100 degrees is like being cooked in a convection oven. It Was HOT!!.. Back to the front range on 70 I pulled off to watch the sun cast it's last light on the mountains late on this summer solstice day. I'm sure RGINN knows where I'm at when I took the 4th picture? Heading down to the front range there was a gigantic thunderhead over the flatland's and I'm seeing it at just about eye level heading down out off the mountains. I was listening to the Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks game and just about every time the Rockies made a play, lighting would strike from that thunder head. From where I was I could see the strikes of lighting going upward into the thunderhead cloud and even the sports announcer would call the play and then mentioned the lighting strike after it. I thought that was pretty cool.
