"Weathered Witness" is a breathtaking photograph that showcases the beauty of a Colorado winter landscape. The image features a one-seed juniper, its branches adorned with fresh snow, standing as a testament to time against the backdrop of the iconic sandstone formations known as the Garden of the Gods. As the first rays of sunlight wash over the scene, the warm glow highlights the rugged textures of the rocks, creating a striking contrast with the cool tones of the snow.

This piece reflects the artist's passion for storytelling through photography. The juniper tree symbolizes resilience and endurance, while the surrounding landscape invites contemplation and appreciation for nature's beauty. The sounds of peregrine falcons or perhaps a bobcat fill the air, enhancing the immersive experience of this serene moment.

As a Colorado native, the artist draws inspiration from the diverse landscapes of the region, aiming to share the stories that unfold in each scene. "Weathered Witness" is not just a photograph; it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and immerse oneself in the tranquil beauty of the outdoors.
