Storm light breaks over the Dallas Divide like revelation—shafts of sun piercing dark cloud, igniting the land below in molten color. Hillsides blaze with aspen groves turned to gold and rust, each tree catching its moment before shadow swallows it again. The San Juan Mountains rise beyond, their peaks freshly dusted with snow, sharp against the tumult of sky. Mist coils along the ridgeline, threading between the slopes like pale smoke, while high above, a small flock of birds wheels through the light, their motion tracing the unseen wind. For an instant, everything seems to move in unison—cloud, mountain, leaf, and wing caught in the same pulse.
The air feels charged, metallic, alive with the scent of rain on stone. Light strikes the valley in shifting bands, transforming the forest into a living mosaic—gold beside crimson, umber beside green, color pressed against color until the whole scene hums with warmth. The eye doesn’t rest; it travels with the light, following its passage across the hills as though reading a story written in sun and shadow. Each flare fades as quickly as it arrives, leaving only the echo of brightness behind.
In that fleeting choreography, the land shows its dual nature—wild yet deliberate, vast yet intimate. The interplay of storm and sunlight feels less like conflict and more like conversation, a dialogue written in radiance. Nothing here is still, yet nothing feels hurried.
Lightfall Over the Divide captures the instant when weather becomes theater and light itself takes form. It’s the mountain’s hymn to impermanence—a reminder that beauty is often brightest just before it passes, burning through cloud and color before returning to quiet.
