Two years ago, I was on a one night cross country ski hut trip from Mount Crested Butte to Gothic.  It's not a long ski, about four miles, mostly descending on the way in. Raynor Czerwinski, an extremely talented photographer, renowned for his lucid landscapes, from Crested Butte, lead five of us  to Gothic.  Raynor's energy, photographic experience and teaching skills, (as well as his culinary skill) resulted in me capturing these night images.  I took me two year to appreciate what I captured.  Sometimes, it takes time to allow the 'expectation of the moment' to fade and the to let the image speak anew.

Would it be a race without him?

Yep, he caught them...

While I was in Crested Butte last weekend, I enjoyed some awesome sushi at Lil's with a couple nice glasses of wine, then to the Princess Wine Bar and two more glasses (a tasty Cab by Lander Jenkins 2009) and more nice conversation with some locals and near-locals.  Since I couldn't and didn't want to sleep after the place closed up, I grabbed my camera and started shooting CB at Night. The low light, no tripod, and four glasses of wine (did I say that already?) lead to some interesting if not down right poor photos, but maybe some good photography. 

You decide....
