Chair Mountain rises above the Crystal River in the Elk Mountains of Colorado.
...and that puts a smile on my face.
This scene of Chair Mountain rising above the Crystal River has been a very popular stock image for some time now. Throughout September of 2024, it’s been my top selling photograph from my Adobe Stock catalog and very popular seller in my Getty Images catalog.
I made this photo in 2011 while on an Autumn photography trip with my old friend Merlin Peck. Merlin is no longer with us, but every time I see this image, my memories of Merlin flush through my head and that puts a smile on my face.
Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mk II, with the Canon EF 24-105mm L.
