A Divided Paradise

We were exploring high up on Paradise Divide near Crested Butte when we came across these small tarns. The water became a perfect mirror, so clear it was disorienting to look at. The sky was filled with this incredible pattern of clouds, and seeing it reflected so perfectly felt unreal. It was one of those moments of absolute quiet and symmetry you can only find deep in the mountains, where the air is cool and the world seems to hold its breath just for you.
