Aspen, Lukachukai, Arizona, 2007

We not only traveled through deserts and canyons -- we had a chance to drive though mountain scenery as well. This stand of Aspen drew our attention while on the road through the Chuska Mountains in Northeastern Arizona, near the New Mexico border. I made this image through the front windshield of a moving car. The diagonal ranks of Aspen trunks, broken only by a single evergreen tree, repeat their vertical thrusts. The trunks are framed on top by a repetitive diagonal of leafy clusters, and on the bottom by the diagonal flow of shrubs.

Thanks, Jenene for noting the geometry in nature here -- it is everywhere. We only have to look for it, and then
express it's beauty and power by constraining it within the frame of the camera.

A lesson in geometry and form. If I half close my eyes and look, it becomes lyrical, graphic abstract.

Thanks, Mo. When I saw this scene, I saw the color contrasts, rhythms and patterns first. The trees themselves were secondary

Lots of lovely lines in this image: vertical, diagonal and the white color sets off nicely against the darker colors
