The image of this old gnarly tree was captured when I visited Rocky Mountain National Park in 2012. I have revisited this image many times and applied the "creative tools" I had available at the time. I found delight creating some new and different versions of this image. Using the Luminar and Topaz photo editing software suite of tools, I think I arrived at an image that evokes as sense of "timelessness" and "ancient-ness".
Found this forest and fern setting during hike on Whitehorse Trail near Darrington. Stepped off trail to walk into forest to capture this photograph. Once image was captured, I edited to created this final artistic effect.
