Here is a ranch abandoned last century in the high country (10,000 ft elevation) near Victor, Colorado. In the foreground a spring had once been harnessed to supply the livestock with water, where the trough has long since been overtaken by rust and tall grasses, inside and out. In the distance the rancher's cabin and barn lies in crumbling ruins. As I knelt here to take this photo, I imagined how alive and promising this home must have been some ages past. But now it seems like the rancher's dreams have become lost in the bitter wind, which bends the grass in unceasing waves across this high plain.

I am a lifelong Alaskan (except for a few years "outside") perpetually enthralled with Alaska's unique natural beauty. I carry a camera, lenses, and tripod about on frequent treks throughout the Alaska wilderness, often in the Chugach Mountains near my home. I am mostly drawn to conventional landscape photography - subject, light, composition, and color. Occasionally I'll get the opportune shot of wildlife as I trek about, and sometimes - but infrequently - I travel outside Alaska, where of course my camera accompanies me. :-) I am always updating images here from recent treks, and look forward to seeing you here again soon! Best wishes! Tim Newton
