Colorado at 14,000 ft.
These were taken with my D600 and 3 lenses, a Rokinon 14mm F2.8, Rokonon 35mm F1.4 and Nikkor 300mm F4 ED AF AI (the non AI-S version).
I took the bike up to Mount Evans yesterday for some hiking and photography. At 14,264 ft, the air is a little thin, there is 60% less oxygen in your lungs at this elevation compared to sea level.
You can't beat the views though.

It was storming on and off all day. Temperatures were in the 50's, which was pretty nice compared to the high 90's down lower.
In this shot, you can see South Park Basin in the far distance.

Up this high, there are only a few species of wildlife. Marmots, pika, big horn sheep, and mountain goats are common. Elk can be found here, but usually stay around the 12,000 ft level as there is more grazing there.
I seen a few bighorns off in the distance and pika were everywhere. I took off my 14mm lens and put on my 300mm lens for a few shots of the mountain goats.

Here a nanny uses her kid for a pillow. They have it pretty easy in the summer.
