Big Sticks

This is an image I captured last year in early March in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains above Santa Fe, New Mexico. I like the way the strong lighting creates a stark and austere image from this grove of bare Aspens. In a very different way, this capture of forest reflections I did recently takes the subject-matter of the forest and creates an almost-abstract composition about color, shape, and form.
