The Story Behind This Shot

A purple-shouldered peak at sunrise with pink and orange clouds above, and a scatter of golden aspens and broken red rock in the foreground at Horse Ranch Park near Crested Butte, Colorado. Horse Ranch Park sits along Kebler Pass Road with big views toward the Raggeds and the West Elks. Using the rocks as a foreground anchor keeps the eye moving from the fall color up to the mountain. A cool-and-warm mountain sunrise print with plenty of depth.
