I was looking at this image thinking that the lighting was really intense, then realized it was the evening lighting, With all the smoke in the air from California fires that drifted all the way to Colorado, I think that is why there was such an unusual coloring in most of my photos this year.
Even in this panoramic view of the main passenger train with Tangle foot loop and Cumbres Pass in the background you can see the haze in the canyon north west of Cumbres, sure hope next year will be better than this year was.
