Snowmass Mountain was already slipping into shadow when the weather shifted.
Autumn had softened the land, muted grasses, darkening slopes, the last warmth of the season thinning in the air. Then, without warning, a narrow band of snow moved through the valley.

It didn’t arrive as a storm.
It arrived as a veil.

The snowfall was light and vertical, almost translucent, drifting between the mountain and the fading sun. As the light dropped, the snow began to act like a filter, quieting color, dissolving edges, turning the landscape into layers rather than forms. Warm tones from the west bled into cooler blues and greens beneath the cloud shelf, all of it softened by the falling snow.

For a brief moment, the mountain felt distant and present at the same time, partially revealed, partially withheld. The snow did not obscure the scene so much as translate it, reducing the world to tone, motion, and atmosphere.

This fine art landscape photograph was made in that narrow window when light, weather, and season overlapped in the mountains of Colorado. The snow became a curtain rather than a subject, allowing the landscape to recede gently into itself.

Veiled Showers is less about the mountain than about what happens when the land pauses, when light passes through weather, and the world briefly chooses subtlety over clarity. The image is offered as an archival fine art print, preserving the delicate tonal transitions that defined the moment.

“He wraps Himself in light as with a garment;
He stretches out the heavens like a tent.”
— Psalm 104:2

Print Process & Availability

This work is a new addition to the Veiled Landscapes collection and is offered exclusively as a dye-infused metal photographic panel. The image is permanently infused into architectural-grade aluminum, becoming part of the metal itself rather than resting on its surface. When properly lit, the panel creates a sense of depth and luminosity that cannot be achieved with traditional print processes. This process was selected to serve the scale, atmosphere, and subtle tonal transitions of the photograph. The work is available at 30 × 45 inches and is produced as a limited edition of twelve, with availability released sequentially.
