Colorado Rockies by Moonlight

We drove through the Rockies at night Tuesday. I'm sure they are grand and spectacular by daylight, but by moonlight they are stark and beautiful. Looking down in canyons at moonlight-washed rock fields, downed trees bleached white as bones, rivers and lakes reflecting silver, even back country roads taking on sepulchral qualities - paths of the dead and wandering. Looking up at snowfields and cloud caps and rock faces staring blackly out at eternity.

Yep.  The Rockies by moonlight sure had an impact on me.

I wonder what I'll think when I go through them in daylight?
