As dusk falls, a majestic moose forages peacefully in a lush meadow, surrounded by towering evergreens. The setting sun casts a radiant pink hue across the sky, adding a surreal quality to this tranquil forest scene. The vibrant contrast between the soft sky and the rich greens of the coniferous trees creates a natural painting that celebrates the untamed beauty of wildlife at twilight. This moment is a reminder of the serene wonders that unfold in the wilderness, away from the bustle of daily life.

Art by Michael Underwood.

Michael Underwood is a nature photographer originally from North Carolina. He has traveled to all 50 states, and all too few countries. In 2010 Michael moved to the small mountain town of Lake City in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, one of the most remote places in the lower 48 states. Two weeks later, he bought a professional camera and lenses. Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes and wildlife of his new home in southwestern Colorado, he developed a deep appreciation and respect for nature. He was able to mix new found loves of nature and photography to begin a career as a photographer.
