About the Shot
"MORNING GLOW" The Maroon Bells Wilderness, Colorado is known for its inspiring mountain peaks and magical aspen groves. It was a place I had always wanted to visit. So one autumn weekend, I took off on a solo trip to explore one of the most photographed locations in Colorado. That morning, the sky was clear and the harsh light of the sunrise blasted my chances of getting a good shot at the lake. So I decided to hike on, and along the way passed the tallest and cleanest aspen tree grove I have ever seen. It was early fall and the leaves had just begun to change from green to yellow, they give off a bright energy from the morning light's glow. Maroon Bells Wilderness, Colorado
