Taken in the fall of the dancing aspens near Telluride, Colorado. It was an adventure I had wanted to check off my bucket list of fall photos. It comes with a price, though. It's a sacred area among professional photographers, in fear that this area will someday become too well known and people will start to deface the trunks of these amazingly beautiful trees. It got me to thinking about other landmarks we as nature and landscape photographers hold so dear. We need to defend and protect our natural resources for generations to follow, so that they can witness the natural beauty and grace we witness today.
