Snow Mountain Ranch, Colorado
Wildlife tracks reveal animal activity in Snow Mountain Ranch, while the rising sun paints the sky in beautiful pink colors. This peaceful backcountry is protected through an agreement between the YMCA of the Rockies and the Colorado State Forest Service. The conservation easement safeguards the habitat for a number of wildlife animals. One of those animals is the Canada lynx, which is endangered in Colorado.
While scouting Snow Mountain Ranch’s land with my camera, I saw many wildlife tracks in the snow. Although the morning was rather tranquil, I could tell that many critters had been busy overnight. I really wanted to find a view with tracks on fresh snow and the sunrise in the background. It took a lot of hiking in deep snow, combined with the pressure of time, as the sunrise was due quite soon. Finally I arrived at the vista seen in this picture and hurried to set up my camera. Luckily, I pressed the shutter just in time to take the photo, while the radiant light was exploding in the distance.
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the land of today’s Snow Mountain Ranch was inhabited by some early settlers. These ranchers homesteaded the land and worked hard to survive in this beautiful, but harsh in the winter, terrain. Originally Carl and Della Just made this place their home, where they had 8 children. Carl was an Austrian immigrant, who had come to the United States in 1885 with his father, Karl Just, Sr.
Another family, who homesteaded parts of Snow Mountain Ranch were Fred and Martha Rowley with their three children. The cabin that Fred built can still be seen on the ranch. In addition, Fred built several barns. It is said that he managed to build the cabin and all, except for one, of the barns by himself.
This is the absolute highest luxury, museum quality product in fine art printmaking on the market today. Acrylic prints boast a tremendous range of vivid and bright colors, incredible sharpness and clarity, and an anti-reflective acrylic surface. Put together, these qualities result in an almost 3D looking showpiece, which immediately captivates and impresses the viewer. TruLife® acrylic prints are a fully finished wall art product, ready to be hung on your wall.
Lumachrome acrylic fine art prints reflect light with amazing luminescence due to the Iridium metal particles used in the print inks. Because of this, these museum quality prints appear as if they are lit from behind. In addition, the colors are amazingly vibrant and well saturated, while the dark areas maintain great detail. Furthermore, I use the anti-reflection, scratch resistant, and UV protective TruLife® acrylic as a standard on my limited edition prints.
Metal prints are a paperless fine art photographic product. The inks are directly infused and sealed onto an aluminum sheet, in order to produce this gallery quality, luxury artwork. ChromaLuxe metal prints result in a stunning, high-gloss fine art image, with bright and saturated colors. Metal prints have incredible image quality, archival properties, and physical durability.
Research has shown that ChromaLuxe metal prints will outlast, by three times, silver-halide photographic paper prints. Besides, metal prints are a remarkable high definition product, delivering high quality at a slightly lower price, compared to acrylic prints.
Large format print sizes with great quality are available for your interior. As a landscape nature photographer, I pride myself on being able to produce huge prints with sharpness and detail. Although prints are available in custom sizes, my typical dimensions are: PANORAMIC – 20×60, 30×90, 40×120 and STANDARD – 30×45, 40×60, 48×72. You can learn the difference between panoramic and standard prints on my print sizes page. There you will also find visualization tools to help you see how different size large format prints fit inside a home decor.
When you purchase LImited Edition Gintchin Fine Art prints I will personally mail you (separately from the image) a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing the identity and edition number of your new art piece.
