The Story Behind This Shot

A long exposure across Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, with the falls pouring off the travertine ledge in several separate ribbons and the famous submerged log lying across the emerald water. April runoff keeps the falls strong while the surrounding cliffs are still bare. Visiting takes a permit and a short, steep climb from the canyon floor, and the boardwalk keeps everyone off the fragile shoreline. A cool, green, calming print for an office or bath.
