Twisted Aspen Trees
by Tad Bowman
This Colorado photo depicts unique twisted aspen trees surrounded by colorful fall foliage in the San Juan National Forest. I was lucky to be given a tip about this area. I just wish that I had more time to photograph the area and get different angles.
Equipment: Canon 5d Mark III, 70-200mm Lens

My main interest is in mountain landscape photography. I reside in Colorado. Therefore the majority of my photos are focused on that location. My work is highly concentrated on Colorado mountain photos along with the surrounding landscape. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the Colorado fall foliage with gold and yellow aspen trees and rust colored scrub oak.

Colorado is my favorite state and I’d love to live there, but that doesn’t seem like it will ever be. So we visit there when we can, and now I can look on your web site and enjoy it through your pictures. Thank you so much for sharing, your photos bring back many happy memories of your mountains.

very cool, and very beautiful photo. My guess is they are a result of a landslide when the stand was just a bunch of young saplings. Soil below the trees probably slumped away, the trees fell over but were still rooted so as they grew, the new growth went upward. maybe. if so, it is the perfect clue for an example of small landslides in the area’s past.
