Purpose and patience...we create our own luck by being at the right place at the right time. I often have people ask me how I can capture such light and my only response is just being present...to be there when the light is the best. Sometimes challenging conditions are before us, but for me it's the challenging conditions that push my creativity. This was a long exposure taken during blue hour on County Road 9 near Ridgway, CO. I just really wanted to capture the movement of the clouds and the amazing color of that aspens and evening light! May you all have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
