A Primeval Moment

Photographed by Douglas Manger

Driving north on Highway 85 just shy of the Wyoming border my breath left me. There before me lay this primeval landscape. It all seemed to work together: the muted sun, the majestic spray of clouds...even the plowed furrows set almost at diagonal across the frame fading away to low-lying snow capped mountains beyond.
