Crested Butte is famous for wildflowers. This is one of the most heavily concentrated areas of wildflowers I have ever seen in the wild. To this day, I have never felt such peace and joy photographing as I did that afternoon. The image was taken under diffuse light and no wind created by afternoon cloud cover.
