"Last Kiss of Light"
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 4:18 pm
After numerous visits to beautiful Dusy Basin, mother nature has allowed me to capture her in a piece, that not only represents the Palisades Ridgeline in all its glory, it also truly represents the essence of what the Sierra means to me. Rarely does one get the chance or opportunity, to capture both of these representations in one magnificent piece.
After scouting for a pond in the basin for a couple of hours earlier that day, which gave me the right angles and reflections of Agassiz, Winchell, Thunderbolt, North Palisade, and Isosceles Peaks, discovered a smaller pond, west of Lake 11388, which I returned to, after one of the many storms that hit us. After setting up and waiting, had just about given up on any light being able to penetrate the dense cloud cover from the storm that had just dropped a large amount hail on us, not less than an hour ago.
The "Kiss" or Alpenglow, was just the right amount, it created balance, instead of being overpowering, Isosceles Peak towering to the right, is draped in its evening shadow, it adds enough shadow, to counter-balance the brightness of the pond in the foreground. The rocks on the other side of this small pond, still had enough light to give off some its warm, red-rusty colors, which accentuated the cold blue shadows draping the basin in the evening hour.
Click on the piece, to get a larger view.
Have two large private shows coming up in October, this piece will be very well received by my investors, who will not only appreciate my vision, but also appreciate my message/mission, of protecting our natural resources, like "Our" national parks and forests.
Thanks for looking!
