The Story Behind This Shot
A double exposure of two bull elk walking together at Genesee Park, with the Gore Range above Silverthorne catching first light along both backs and the spruce forest filling their legs. Silverthorne is named for Judge Marshall Silverthorn, who claimed a stretch of the Blue River in 1881 and found little gold. The elk are walking in step, which is more coordination than most hiking groups manage.
A long, horizontal wildlife print that fits over a couch or a mantel.
