Rider of the Tempest
by Marc Adamus
The sunset stirs something of the spirit of this ancient, one of the oldest trees on Earth. The trees live near the sky, at well over 3000 meters in elevation, enduring the harshest of conditions alone. This portrait was an opportunity to capture their essence, which I had waited for a long time.
Equipment: Canon 1Ds III, Nikon 14-24 lens

The mood and feel of this image is simply wicked!, a stunning capture Marc. I was in Moab Ut. Last week and photographed many of the Bristol Pines in many variations but none as magnificent as this. Again, terrific!

This may be the most dramatic photograph I’ve ever seen.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and there are words here.
I don’t expect they will come today, but they are surely on their way.

Mr. Adamus,
Your work is inspiring to say the least! I feel inclined to paint the images you have captured. I hope I can do them justice. I have not been painting for a long time. I just enjoy beautiful things.
Thank you for living your passion so that I can pursue mine!
