Photographer's Statement:

To me, the Dynamics of Idaho’s Forests are all about how these rugged landscapes keep evolving with every season, showing off their beauty in places like Sun Valley and Bogus Basin. My photo captures a chilly sunset at Bogus, with the golden light hitting the trees and the sky changing from blue to orange. It’s a photo of nature’s cycle. It is challenging, stunning, and always ready for the next season.
