Peaceful Invitation

Sage Creek Wilderness

Some scenes call us to come in and explore. A gorgeous stretch of land with 360 degree views, it was hard to ignore. We decided to venture in an find a remote area to set up camp.
Along our journey in and just before descending into the valley below the mountain, a lone voice called out. An "ir" photographer shouted from a distance. He was capturing our journey along a crest and wanted to get our attention. Speaking across the valley, he left his card on our car and explained in short of the shot he took as we hiked in.
Pictured posted below.

We had a great night below the peaks. Very peaceful and harmonious. The night's deluge spoke differently for the next day though. This land becomes incredibly difficult to traverse after heavy rains.

Thanks for your time and comments as always.

That is very pretty light and I like the way the layers of light, shadow, and color create depth. Can't think of anything I'd change.

Very nice Anthony. The side lighting really helps to create depth in the image and I really like how many different colors are present here. The shot of you and your wife hiking in is really cool as well.

Great work, must be that camera!
I'm pissed you skipped the art fair on the square, some great talented photographers this year.

I really like the layers of colors.

Very nice, Anthony. Lots of nice detail, great color, and wonderful side light. I might be tempted to burn down the bright wedge in the upper right corner.

It looks like a great place to wander around.

Well balanced out comp here Anthony. I like the layers and color variety and how the tree anchors the image and adds to a more 3D effect. I also like the photo of you and your wife.

Another wonderful image in this series. The golden light is really beautiful, especially on the foreground grasses. I also like the composition a lot. The dark clouds give a sense of that coming deluge, too. Really nice work, Anthony.
