I know it doesn't look like that right this moment...

But WHY do I have to be stuck at work with places like that out there?

I'm always amazed at how dark the sky always looks in pictures of Montana and Colorado and some of the other Rocky Mountain states...but friends who have lived there say it really does have skies like that, or very close to it. Just incredible...

Part of it the polarizing filter I used on those pics, which removes excess reflections and clarifies the colors, but also intensifies the dark blue sky. And it is also the altitude... for that second pic, I was standing at the top of a pass at about 11,500 feet.
