This shot was about 8 miles out on County Road 9 south west of Ridgway, CO. The late afternoon rays of sunlight are illuminating Dallas Peak, left of center, a 13,815-foot (4,211 m) thirteener is located in the Mount Sneffels Wilderness of Uncompahgre National Forest.
Mears Peak, right of center, rises to 13042 feet (3975 m). Dallas and Mears Peaks are two of 357 peaks above thirteen thousand feet. in the San Juan Range. This area on the north side provides some of the best fall colors in the entire San Juan Range.
The late afternoon light on the Aspens and Scrub Oaks enhance their colors . Wild fires in California in 2020 gave the light an even warmer tone than some other years I had photographed at this location.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
