This print, framed in a natural barn wood frame with only a clear finish created by the photographer, is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. An additional image shows the framed print hung on a wall with other furniture, to give a sense of size and scale of the finished artwork. Available also as a print only without frame, in three optional sizes and materials.
Craters of the Moon National Monument in Central Idaho is a massive volcanic area where cinder cones and lava flows create a beautiful and unique landscape. I drove an hour and a half from Twin Falls early on a June morning and arrived before sunrise. I first explored the Devil's Orchard area, where I shot several sunrise images, and then climbed to the peak of Inferno Cone, the largest cinder cone in the park. The hike up the face of the cone has no vegetation at all, just pure black cinders. However, at the top there was some brush, and this fantastic old gnarly tree stump! While there was a little color still in the sky, I set up my camera to get the weathered tree in the foreground, some of the black cinders in the midground, and the Pioneer Mountains and sunrise colors in the background. Although a simple scene, this grabbed my attention immediately when I arrived at the peak, and it continues to grab my attention whenever I look at the image. It almost seems as though it could be a landscape from a different planet!
