I enjoy seeing and photographing tree abstracts, especially colorful ones such as these aspens. I liked the soft color palate in this image which to my mind, perfectly captures fall in the Mountain West.
A clearing in the sky at sunset highlights a red mesa in the Capitol Reef NP. My wife and I were driving high over the park, and noticed parts of the area were suddenly lit by the sunlight. I was captivated by the combination of snow covered foreground and spotlit areas in the back.
Late evening sun lights up part of Capitol Reef NP. The area saw intermittent cloud-cover during our visit which caused part of the landscape to be lit while others were shaded. I have tried capturing the interplay between light and shadows in the Colorado Plateau against the fall foreground.
