Fall in Colorado is equal parts outstanding and fleeting. Blink and you might miss it. Luckily, local photographer and 5280 contributor Jason J. Hatfield captured the short-lived season in a colorful time lapse. Take in a series of iconic locations around the state, shining in all their fall glory, captured by Hatfield during his five years of photographing the fall colors in Colorado.
