Chambers Lake is a 254 acre lake used for supplying water to eastern Colorado and offering plenty of recreation for the fisherman. It is known for its cutthroat and rainbow trout, Kokanee, Mackinaw and Splake. I visited the lake on the short camping trip last week and almost camped at the lake. It may have been quieter since the lake is locate off the highway. While on an early morning drive looking for aspens I noticed this couple fishing along the shoreline. Loved the colors and feel of this scene so stopped to take a half dozen shots. Wonder if they caught anything. I’m also posting another aspen shot. Found these aspens about two miles from where I took the image of the lake.

We do not have the variety of colors compared with the east coast. But we do have our aspens. I enjoy just listening to those leaves as the rustle in the wind.

Love the glow from the aspen leaves.

I do to, Steve. I just wish I could capture the true colors and feel when standing along side a grove of aspens. Never happens. One of those things where we just have to be there.

The lake shot has a softness I really like. Looks like a nice place to camp as well.

Of the over 300 images I took up there this has turned out to be my favorite image. I think it’s the mood created by the softness and hue of the blue/gray color along with the solitude of the fisherman. It sings to me. Thanks!

Wow! Now that’s some yellow, right there. Maybe Ken should steal that photo for his yellow series! 😀 That first picture is very peaceful and solemn, Monte.
Monte Stevens
A better idea would be to sell him rights to it and make a bundle. 🙂 As I mentioned earlier the top image is my favorite of the images I took while up there.

Monte, I definitely like the “quietness” of the lake photo. Makes me especially envious sitting here among the office chatter and random moaning of printers and fax machines.
Monte Stevens
Yes, Ken, the sounds of nature is real “quietness.”

Yeah, I don’t think anyone can get tired of seeing aspens in the fall. Very nice Monte. The lake image just speaks tranquility to me – it makes me more relaxed just looking at it.

The whole time up there was relaxing for me. It’s interesting how we can came back at a different level of serenity after time in nature and all its colors. Thanks, Mark.
