Alcanse

Description

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.
The intense gold color of the leaves against the blue and white New Mexico sky is beautiful expression of nature’s color wheel. All we have to do is look up. At the right time of day, sunlight seems to illuminate the leaves with both front and rear lighting for this impressive display. This image will work well on any media, such as canvas, metal and paper. A large metal print of this image will be a massive presence wherever it is displayed.
