As the evening light bathes Mt. Pedernal in gold and amber, monsoon thunderclouds gather above, casting a dramatic silhouette. This photograph captures a moment that honors the deep connection between nature, art, and the human spirit. Often called "Georgia O'Keeffe's mountain," Mt. Pedernal was not just an artistic subject for her but a spiritual anchor. She famously said, "God told me if I painted it enough, I could have it," reflecting my own experience with the mountain as I took this photograph. The interplay of light and storm evokes a sense of reverence similar to O'Keeffe's works. By capturing this moment, I aim to honor the mystique of Pedernal as a sanctuary for reflection and creativity, inviting viewers to feel the spiritual allure of the mountain. Just as O'Keeffe transformed Pedernal into art, I hope to preserve its spirit in this image.
