These are images that can be printed in very large sizes, up to 4 feet on the short side as this is the maximum width that most modern fine art printers can accommodate. For pieces which will not be viewed from very close, it is also possible to piece together several prints to create an even larger image. Please contact me for pricing information.
Although it is already the 3rd of June, Trail Ridge Road was still closed for snow removal. It will be the latest opening of the road in 20 years. Despite the closure, perhaps even more because it was closed, I decided to hike up there and enjoy a quiet evening at Rock Cut. It was a beautiful sunset with the only sounds being the dripping of water from the melting snow and the sound of howling coyotes on the other side of Forest Canyon. This photo is a composite of about 8 separate photos and can thus be printed as a panorama at very large sizes with amazing detail. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

There are moments when the beauty of the world is so great that our hearts begin to ache. The deepest longings within us are awakened and tantalized with expectation. It is like we begin to awake from a dream and start to remember something, something important about who we are, something we have lost. You can almost touch it and then it vanishes leaving only a deep feeling of indescribable longing. The Germans have called this feeling, "Sehnsucht". Photo © by Erik Stensland.

Notchtop is one of those mountains that you just can’t help but notice. The deep notch which gives it its name can be seen for miles. This view lies just up the trail from Bear Lake off of the Fern Lake trail. Here you can see Notchtop towering over Two Rivers Lake on a very calm July afternoon. If you look closely can see the stones on the bottom of the lake both near and far. You can also see Grace Falls gently falling off of the mountain’s lower reaches into the valley below.

This was shot from just below Dream Lake. A fresh snow covered the entire valley as the first rays of the sun lit Longs Peak. This web version of the image doesn't do it justice as there is an amazing amount of detail to be seen such sunlit clouds hovering just below the top of Longs and the first rays warming up the East face of Longs.

Autumn in Rocky Mountain National Park is probably the most beautiful season of the year. The Park comes to life with vibrant colors all around and there is still a sweet warmth to the air. This photo was taken along highway 7, the “Peak to Peak” highway. Here you can see Mount Meeker, Longs Peak and Mount Lady Washington guarded by a beautiful stand of golden aspen. In just a few weeks the winter snows will come, creating a new world of wonder and beauty. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

When I start shooting in Moraine Park again then I know that spring is here. The snow is melting, the Big Thompson is running fast, the grass is turning green, there is snow on the mountains and the clouds are much more cooperative than in the summer. It was a peaceful start to the morning with delicate light and stormy clouds to make things almost perfect.
