While exploring back country roads near Lake City, CO looking for the quintessential Fall photos I came across this scene. I had my camera near me so I immediately pulled over and took a few quick shots. Things were moving fast in "photographer time" but I managed to get this story that I think does a decent job of depicting what a modern day cowboys workday might be like. Not bad a day at the office!

Nikon D800 with Nikkor 28-300 f3.5-5.6 lens, my go to lens when I want to travel light and be prepared for anything. 85mm, f11, 1/160, ISO 200. Minor adjustments to clarity and exposure in camera raw and Topaz Clarity.
