Sunset Photos In Buena Vista, Colorado (August 20, 2009)

Colorado Sunset In Buena Vista, CO (Photos - August 20, 2009)

	I have seen better sunsets over the Sawatch Mountains in central Colorado, but I was riding my bike for some evening exercise and had my digital camera with me. The first thing that caught my eye were the colorful pink and peachy clouds hovering over Mt. Princeton, a mountain that stands prominently to the west of Buena Vista, Colorado.
	Looking toward the east, enough pink and lavendar shades existed to deem it worthy of my camera's attention. You've got to love the wide open spaces of the western states. Most areas have modest amounts of pink and purple in their sunsets regularly, but how often can the average person see them?
	Facing west toward the mountains, a large strand of a cloud brightened up ...
	... and it lit up the sky once it turned a vibrant pink!
	Another pretty shot over the mountains.
	It was a very pretty Colorado sunset all right. Near the end, I snapped this dorky photo with myself included using the camera's timer. I immediately tweeted it on my Twitter profile. :) Below are other sunsets from this general area in and around the vicinity of Buena Vista, CO in Chaffee County: Buena Vista, CO (July 2009) Collegiate Peaks (February 2009) Mt.
