This cloudbow took place along the Durango & Silverton line, when we stopped at Tank Creek (in the San Juan National Forest) to take on water, on the way up the Animas River valley. Yes, those are the real colors as they appeared in the moment--I've only cropped the image slightly, and increased the brightness just a tiny bit. With the graceful form of the cloud and the gentle pastel palette of light here, I think I'll call this image "Angel Wing."
