The Castle at Twilight
Layered elements guide the eye from foreground to background, beginning with the textured foundation of desert grasses. A row of autumn cottonwood trees anchors the middle ground, carefully positioned to be framed entirely by the surrounding landscape, avoiding overlap with the open sky above.
At the highest point of the composition, the Castle formation stands against the deepening blue of twilight. The soft, diffused light reveals a quiet luminosity throughout the scene—from the gentle glow in the grasses to the delicate highlights tracing the contours of the rock formations.
