The Color of Firelight

Captured in Yosemite Valley during an unsupervised controlled burn in November 2021, The Color of Firelight reveals a surreal moment when flame and twilight met in silence. As smoke drifted through the trees and the sun slipped away, the forest ignited—not in destruction, but in color. Reds, violets, and golds glowed in the haze, transforming the woods into something painterly and ephemeral.

This fine art photograph invites quiet contemplation—of light, impermanence, and the fleeting beauty born where elements converge.
