I think that is the perfect way to experience a nice sports car without having to pull out a second mortgage on your house. So instead of the econo-box rental car, my lens mule and work vehicle for the Pikes Peak hill climb was this Porsche 911.I was a bit worried at first as I was not so sure the Porsche would clear some of the off-road areas that they make you park in, but it fared just fine. It helped to enter and exit everything at an angle.
As for space? It fit two photographers’ full gear in perfectly fine. I just love that this was a usable sports car.
In order to make it up the hill in time for sunset we had to wake up at 3am every day. It was totally worth it to get to the good spots, but it takes a toll on your body for sure.
The views from the top were spectacular as always. The lights from Colorado Springs would flicker and slowly disappear as the sky grew brighter.
Even in the middle of August there was ice near the top. We were way above the tree line already. Pretty much nothing grows or lives up there.
I was surprised as it seems there were more and more people that are as crazy as I was to wake up this early to catch the sunrise.
This was the perfect time to do long exposure shots or time lapse video. You could see individual rays of light peaking over the horizon.
There you had it, a perfect sunny side up egg just sitting right over the horizon. I don’t know if I will ever get tired of this beautiful scene.
