Ashley Green, Earth's Mirror (LANDSCAPE 2026)

Taken as the sun was going down over Lake Pukaki in New Zealand, this scene stopped me in my tracks. The fading light, layered clouds, and distant peaks combined in a way that felt almost unreal, more like a carefully painted canvas than a photograph. It was one of those rare evenings where everything simply came together.
