The comet Neowise was visible for many days this summer. It was best seen from Trail Ridge Road, because it was darker (less light pollution) and at high elevation… thin atmosphere. The aspen colors were very good in early October. In general, landscape photography suffered from hazy, smoke-filled skies due to the many fires in the western US.
