Autumn's Fiery Farewell

Photographer's Statement:

Idaho’s forests transform with the seasons, each change brining a fleeting beauty. This tree, glowing in autumn’s final light, symoblizes nature’s constant renewal. The fiery leaves contrast against the darkening sky, a reminder that even in transition, there’s the promise of what yet has to come.
