The story behind this image

A lovely colour combination of green, gold and blue on the shores of Bierstadt Lake, high in the Rocky Mountains.

This trio of hikers were enjoying a rest as I framed up this shot showing Hallett Peak rising up over the lake.

I rarely deliberately include people in my landscape photos, but these guys were perfectly positioned on their rock by the side of the lake, so I took the photo with them looking at the mountains.

I think they add a certain something to the image. A sort of 'wish you were here' feel.
