Photographer's Statement:

These two photos I captured reveal the hidden beauty we take for granted in nature. The first image is fixed on a spruce tree, with a coldish tint added to help elevate the green/blue thorns. The second photo is a picture taken at Craters of the Moon. The singular tree and dark plain environment give a sense of the geographical scale and help point out how large Idaho truly is.
