I captured this photo while backpacking through the Mount Evans Wilderness. The day before this photo was shot, the aspen trees in this area were lush with golden fall foliage. After camping through an intensely windy storm, the following day revealed that all of the aspen trees had been stripped of their beautiful leaves - barren trees emerged out of a blanket of vibrant leaves. I made this photo to show this beautiful yet bittersweet transition.
