Forest Mountain Overlook - Blue Sky Landscape Photography

Sale price$45.00
Material:
Size:

A forested mountain range stretches into rolling distance from a wooded overlook, ridge after ridge softening under a clear blue sky. Views like this drove the creation of America's national parks — the idea that landscape itself was worth protecting took hold in the late nineteenth century, beginning with Yellowstone in 1872 and spreading across the Appalachian and western ranges. An overlook is a designed thing: a gap cut and maintained in the treeline so the vista stays open. The photograph stacks the receding ridgelines into pale layers, the haze grading each one lighter than the last — the long American mountain view, exactly as the parks meant it to be seen.
