Red Mountain

Welcome to red mountain in the spring. The snow isn't quite gone yet creating beautiful and interesting shapes along it's sides. I hope to paint this next. There is red due to the amount of iron in the mountain. Many of the rivers that run from her sides turn an almost neon orange as the sediment settles and the iron floats freely through the waterways. Farther down in Ouray the water meets the blue icy water out of box canon. It meanders south of the city green as pea soup as the two colors mix.
