Crowned in Light
About This Print
Crowned in Light was captured on a drive into Kananaskis on a morning with nothing special planned, just a quiet day in the mountains, when the peak ahead lit up as if someone had turned on a spotlight. That particular quality of alpine light, where the summit catches the sun before everything below and seems to burn from within, is one of the most breathtaking things James has ever witnessed. The camera was out before the decision was fully conscious. The light lasted maybe two minutes. The mountains operate on their own schedule and they don't wait.
This is an open edition fine art landscape photography print, available on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm cotton rag paper, the same archival standard used by fine art galleries worldwide. Kananaskis Country sits immediately west of Calgary in the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies, Alberta, offering some of the most dramatic alpenglow conditions on the eastern slope of the Rockies. Printed to collector grade, with fiery warm tones against a cool dawn sky that makes this image particularly striking at larger formats. Open editions are not hand-signed or numbered and remain available in the shop indefinitely.
