Santa Fe aspen forest

This photograph, Alcanse (reach), is a salute to the beauty of the Aspen forest northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s a bit of a mind boggle to think about the fact that these majestic trees share a common root system over such a vast area. That’s an enormous organism. The glory of this forest presents itself in the autumn of each year with an intense color burst. The color only lasts for a week or two, so huge flocks of people gather in various locations to view and photograph themselves with the trees during the peak of the color. A large metal print of this image will be a massive presence wherever it is displayed.
