20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Monolith mountains

Winter's palette on the monolith mountains. You can literally see the seasons changing before your eyes, I felt like I started setting up this shot in Winter and by the time I took it it felt like Autumn. I wanted to capture the amazing contrasting change from the bottom of the mountain to the top with the orange trees bursting through the unexpected snow.
