Collection: Mountains and Valleys Gallery: Fine Art Landscape Photography

There is something magical about fog - perhaps our imaginations are set free to dream endless possibilities of what we'll find as we explore.  This morning the wind, snow, and fog coated the trees and bushes with the ice crystals of rime, further turning Spruce Mountain in to a fanciful landscape.  Fine Art Landscape Photography by John McClusky.  

A friend and I hiked the Great Sand Dunes National Park at the end of March. It was an amazing time: the dunes were partially covered with snow, creating dramatic views of the dunes such as this one. It was also _very_ windy, as you can tell from the sand and snow blowing off the crests of the dunes. The contrast between the snow and dark sand, the graceful curves of the dunes, the wind patterns in the sand, and the shadows cast by the setting sun all added up to a magical evening!
