Herb, I did very little tweaking of the colors, but I agree. It is a very 
colorful place and the sky was so very blue at that elevation. You can't 
read it on the tombstone-like sign, but the elevation is just a few feet shy 
of 10,000 ft. Do you think in these cases I should have toned the color down 
a tad?
