The Story Behind This Shot

A rocky stretch of the Abyss Lake Trail near Guanella Pass, Colorado, completely enclosed by aspens at peak color, with fallen leaves covering the stones underfoot. Light coming through the canopy turns the whole frame yellow, top to bottom. The lower trail climbs through big aspen groves along Scott Gomer Creek into the Mount Blue Sky Wilderness, and the end of September is usually the window. An immersive, glowing fall print that suits a tall, narrow space.
