Mountain River at Dusk flower and sunlight gracing the tips

and sunlight gracing the tips of the foreground trees

the light on the river and foreground vegetation

the foreground trees reaching to the sky

waiting for a particularly clear night to reduce the light pollution and allow the full glory of the Milky Way to shine through

While hiking around Beaver Dam Lake in Illinois

Mountain River at Dusk flower and sunlight gracing the tipsThis is another image from my amazing sunset hike along the Slate river near Crested Butte, Colorado. I was captured by the composition and colors in this mountain scene: the blues and greens of the mountains and trees; the way the clouds are tinted pale lavender, the light on the river and foreground vegetation, and the winding river leading you into the scene. All in all, a beautiful and peaceful fine art landscape photography print!
