SUMMIT COUNTY — The monsoon season started with a bang the first week in July as pendulous clouds moved in from the south, delivering much-need rain and glorious blasts of lightning to the high country. I had the opportunity to shoot some amazing scenes in some awesome locations during the month. If you want to support independent online journalism in Summit County, visit our web galleries at Imagekind or Redbubble, featuring pictures from Colorado and around the world. Fine art prints, as well as greeting cards and calendars, are for sale at reasonable prices.
