The Story Behind This Shot
A double exposure of a Waterton Canyon bighorn ram with the Maroon Bells at first light standing in for its back and shoulder, while the neck, horns and head stay its own. Maroon Lake, below the Bells, sits at about 9,580 feet in a basin carved by Ice Age glaciers and dammed by a landslide. The ram skipped the reservation system entirely.
A soft, painterly wildlife print with a lighter touch than most.
