Species: Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) | Location: Clear Creek County Colorado, USA
In late fall, bighorn herds gather for the rut throughout the western U.S. A spectacular event to witness is the clashing as the rams establish dominance and breeding rights. They will battle for hours until a champion emerges.
About The Photographer
I have lived in Colorado all of my life and have always had a fascination with the outdoors. The distinctive and diverse landscape of the American West have provided the backdrop for my passion, photography. The source of my inspiration has been the vast expanse of the western landscape, its abundant wildlife and the historical heritage. Utilizing a digital camera, I like the challenge of bringing together the necessary elements of light and composition to capture the essence and character of my subject. Nature provides a paradox of strength and vulnerability, of harshness and delicateness. It is unforgiving and resilient. I strive to capture the subtlety and intricacy of nature in my photography. My goal is to help people connect with the natural world through my images.
