The Story Behind the Photograph:
Flying into the Telluride Airport (TEX - KTEX) is not for the faint of heart. At an elevation of 9,078 feet, sitting atop Dove Creek Mesa, the Telluride Airport is the highest commercial airport in North America. It also happens to arguably be the most breathtaking airport in the world! Wind, weather, visibility, and the enormous mountains surrounding the runway all make for a challenging approach.
I’ve often wanted to capture the approach and after searching for numerous Telluride Airport Photos I realized how difficult of a fine art photograph it is to capture perfectly. The same demanding conditions that give pilots a challenge also give a photographer fits. Wind or turbulence causes camera shake and motion blur. A cloud may decide to rear its ugly head and sit in the wrong spot. Other times, the harsh sun melts all the snow on top of the mesa, making for a less interesting shot.
But every so often, a storm comes in and clears the way for the purest snow-kissed mountain tops and crisp runway your eyes will ever see. The backdrop of the Telluride Ski Resort, the old mining town, and the majestic Ajax mountain, directly ahead of a runway with a cliff on each side... it all makes for a heart stopping photograph.
