Two Million Dollar View

Highway 550, Colorado

Limited Edition of 25 Museum Grade, Fine Art Prints.

This photograph is part of Tom's film series of images taken between 1984 and 2006. Each image in this series is available in Limited Edition Fine Art printings of no more than 25 in the various Museum-Grade formats.

Highway 550 in Colorado is one of the most beautiful drives in the world. It is commonly called The Million Dollar Highway though that name really only applies to a 12 mile stretch south of Ouray. Driving this road is spectacular but not for the faint of heart. Though paved there are long stretches without guard rails and thousand foot drops into the canyons below.

This image of the West Needle Mountains is one I took in 2004 or 2005 with my Nikon F4 and a wonderful 35-105 mm lens I use to own. The day I drove this route was one full of surprises. This ‘two million dollar view’ was one I found a few miles past Purgatory Ski Resort. As I drove I kept looking off and seeing the mountains and I really wanted to capture a shot with the bright quaking aspen leaves in the foreground. I love the sunny day, the bright blue sky and puffy clouds, the trees in the foreground really help give depth the scene. Photo © copyright by Tomas W. Mitchell.

The Finished print will look different than what you see on your phone or computer screen. Your phone or computer screen does not do justice to the amazing color and depth of these museum grade, fine art prints. When enlarged to sizes of 24x36 or larger these prints really explode in detail and vibrancy. Proper lighting on your prints can be key to how they will look in your home or office.
