Meteorologist Britta Merwin

There is something very powerful that happens when the amazing beauty of Mother Nature surrounds the senses. No city lights in view, just the cool mountain breeze touching your skin, the warm sunshine on your face, the smell of fresh clean air, and the amazing sights that take your breath away.

There are many National Parks from coast to coast that bring the realization of the awesome power of crystal clear mountain lakes, towering rock formations, and endless ocean fronts. Back home in Colorado I have been blessed with many encounters with awe-inspiring vistas and gorgeous landscapes. My brother, Alex Merwin, loves to roam the world capturing amazing photos, but recently his expeditions of the Front Range and Rockies of our home state left me breathless. I hope you find a moment of peace and beauty in his work as you explore another thing that makes Colorado so great through the work of Alex Merwin. Enjoy:
