Road to Paradise Size:20x45 printTrail Creek Road, in Montana's late winter, where it breaks into the Yellowstone River's Paradise Valley. This is a beautiful, black and white panorama with great areas of light and dark.

lit up by alpenglow while further to the west the sky burns with shades of red

After more than nine months of dormancy

hold the upper hand

and it stares with wonder in my direction

December sunset on the Yellowstone River in Montana close to the shortest day of the year

I listened to a coyote barking hello to the night

A year earlier to the day

drifting along the horizon in veils of grey

bolting everything to an iron bar driven deep into the ground to prevent my focus from shifting while I changed batteries each evening

early-August night this past summer

These pillars of rock push into the night sky

Bulls are the last to leave the wilderness
