Eye’s Wide Open was captured around Crested Butte, Colorado.
As much as I love photographing the ocean, photographing aspen trees in the fall is right up there. There is so much color you can play with surrounding these pearly whites. The slight yellow and green color within this shot makes me happy.
The aspens are all native to cold regions with cool summers, in the north of the Northern Hemisphere, extending south at high altitudes in the mountains. They are all medium-sized deciduous trees reaching 15–30 m (49–98 ft) tall. Aspens do not thrive in the shade, and it is difficult for seedlings to grow in an already mature aspen stand.
Eye Wide Open is a Limited Edition of only 300 prints and can be viewed here.
