In the Uncompahgre National Forest, a large aspen grove forms a canyon of brilliant autumn color, alongside one remote mountain road. Cloudy days, here featuring fractocumulus and stratocumulus, help to even the light throughout the forest and impart a contemplative, peaceful ambience. On this day, earlier light rain had wettened parts of the forest floor, releasing the wondrous aroma of moist autumn leaves throughout the understory. If only that could be conveyed through photography as well!
