The dramatic silhouette of Kessler Peak commands attention in this sunset photograph from Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, set against a vibrant canvas of pink and gold twilight. Visual interest is created by the dusting of early snow that graces the peak's upper reaches and blankets the surrounding dark evergreen forest, a stark contrast to the lingering pockets of golden aspen trees clinging to the slopes. In the foreground, a small stream winds its way through the snow-covered ground, its surface subtly reflecting the soft, fading light, painting a picture of the serene transition from autumn to early winter in the Wasatch Mountains.
