Windy Point at over 10,000 feet, is one of the most scenic places on the 64 miles long Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. In late September and early October each year, the Aspens put on a colourful, fantastic show for visitors as they slowly go from green to golden before dropping their leaves...
It is a technique my filming parter and I have developed over the last two years. You can see further examples on other videos that we have done and posted on this forum. Cumbres & Toltec - From The Air is a good example.
