The San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado are well know for exhibiting some of the best Fall Colors in all of the Rocky Mountains from Canada to New Mexico. County Road 7 is perhaps the best location for capturing the fall spectacular. Aspens and scrub oaks cover the area and in early October nearly always display a vast array of colors. This shoot was taken about 30 minutes before sunset. The nearly full moon hovers in the eastern sky.
Mt. Sneffels is one of 58 mountain peaks in Colorado that exceed 14,000 feet (known as "fourteeners" or "14ers" locally) — the most of any state. Mt. Sneffels, soaring 4313m / 14,150-ft. with 360 degree panoramic views, is popular with hikers & advanced mountaineers. Cirque Mountain with an elevation: 4171 m / 13686 ft. and Teakettle Mountain, elevation: 4212 m / 13819 ft both stand to the left of Sneffels.

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.
