    Fall River in the San Juan Mountains: Fine Art Landscape Photography

    Fall River in the San Juan Mountains: Fine Art Landscape Photography

    My wife and I spent time in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado this fall, and it was a spectacular experience.  These mountains are always breathtaking, and the fall colors and snowy mountains enhanced the beauty. We had been following this river for a while.  I had been enjoying the stately elm (?) trees and colorful shrubs lining it, looking for a public bridge or curve in the road that would allow me a great shot.  Alas, it was difficult to find: either the river didn't lead the eye to a suitable "payoff", the light was wrong, or it was just too 'messy' with brush and dead trees and branches in the river.  That is until we found this location: beautiful lighting, colorful trees and brush along the river, and  the rocky river leading to the mountain replete with aspen and meadows, and interesting clouds in the sky.   Do note the sister image: Fall River in the San Juan Mountains II.  After struggling to decide whether I preferred the horizontal or vertical version of this fine art landscape image, I realized that both are great!

    Hiking in the cold rain isn't always lots of fun, but rain can sure bring out vibrant colors and help create a wonderful nature image!  These aspen in Mueller State Park, Colorado, joined by the granite outcrop, dark spruce, and golden grasses, stopped me in my tracks.  I just had to take this nature photography image to share!

Why I Photograph

I love nature, and often stop in my tracks when I'm moved by the beauty I see.  I am blessed to spend time in nature frequently, but also know that it is difficult for many.  So that everyone can experience nature, I share nature’s beauty through my nature and landscape fine art photography.

I've trained myself to find beauty in both the obvious and the subtle, and compose my nature images whenever something moves me. Thus in my gallery you will find grand landscape fine art prints of amazing vistas, but also nature prints highlighting the play of light on an intimate scene, or a fine art image of a forest glade through the morning fog.  These nature images bring peace and balance into my life, whether witnessing it in person or immersing myself in a glorious fine art nature print.

During my years of stress and pressure as a college vice president, I kept balanced by escaping into treasured nature photographs throughout the day.  Thus the second part of my mission is to help you and your loved ones revel in nature’s beauty in the home or office through my landscape and nature fine art photography.

Thanks for visiting!
