Clouds flow over the summit of Mount Lafayette as the sun dips low on the horizon. An eerie Brocken Spectre, or Glory forms in the distant mist; an atmospheric phenomenon caused by a low sun angle casting the shadow of a prominent outcrop (in this case, the photographer) against the clouds. Franconia Ridge Trail, White Mountains, New Hampshire.

My love of photography initially stemmed from a long involvement with oil painting. The creative working and re-working with oils to produce different results never ceased to amaze me. I've found that a digital darkroom has similarities to the magic of oils, and I enjoy painting with light as much as I did with a brush and canvas. I draw inspiration from my love of the expansive wilderness that we have here in New Hampshire. Waterfalls and craggy ridges are among my favorite subjects, especially those long forgotten by many and far off the beaten path. www.WhiteMountainImages.org www.ChrisWhiton.com
