"ELEVATED ATMOSPHERE" by Clint Howard

"Elevated Atmosphere" captures the grandeur of snow-covered Byer's Peak against a dramatic sky. The peak rises confidently, its ridgelines etched with the cool hues of winter — blues, grays, and soft violets that suggest both distance and cold. The late sun brushes the summit with warm tones of peach and gold, creating a quiet but stirring contrast against the cooler shadows. There’s a palpable sense of solitude and scale — the kind you feel in high places where human presence fades and the land speaks with its own ancient voice. This scene invites the viewer to stand still, breathe deep, and consider the enduring beauty of the wild.
