The Story Behind The Image:
My goal with this photograph is to emphasize the unique textures in the rock brought about by a light layer of fresh snow along with the highlights of light and shadows, and the intimidating power of both Wilson Peak and the even larger storm cloud busting its crest.
Wilson Peak is so massive that locals often claim the mountain can steer a storm enough that it will bypass the valley and the Telluride Ski Resort completely. Other times the mountain is influential enough to local weather patterns that it can actually create it's own storm. I have to admit I was dubious of this claim when I first heard it. But after living in the Telluride area for a while, I realized there was something to the claim. In fact, the Native American name for Wilson Peak is "Shandoka", which literally translates to "Storm Maker", a reference to the mountain's effect on local weather patterns. Wilson Peak is often mistakenly called "Wilson Mountain" or "Mount Wilson" which is another nearby mountain named after the same person.
If that's not cool enough, Wilson Peak is famed for gracing the front of a Coors beer can!
