Winter Aspens & Pine Forest Panorama

This image conveys the ultimate peace and solitude that can be found in nature if we allow ourselves the time to see what is offered. I visited this location each season for about three years. I knew there was something special here, it spoke to me, but I had to wait for the perfect moment to bring the vision to fruition. Thisearly winter morning was overcast and lightly snowing, which softened the light, creating the feel and mood I had felt for so long. I composed this image on a 4x10 inch sheet of film, ensuring the print quality would match my vision of subtlety and infinite detail. I hope this brings you the same feeling of peace as I felt when I exerienced this moment.
