Captured against the backdrop of a breathtaking mountain range under a pastel-hued sky, three majestic horses gallop freely across the vast golden plains. Their elegant forms and vibrant chestnut coats contrast with the wild, untamed landscape, exuding a sense of strength and freedom. The serene beauty of the scene is enhanced by a poignant quote that borders the lower edge, offering a reflection on the essence of our existence: "We are all wanderers on this earth. Our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams."

Michael Underwood is a nature photographer originally from North Carolina. He has traveled to all 50 states, and all too few countries. In 2010 Michael moved to the small mountain town of Lake City in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, one of the most remote places in the lower 48 states. Two weeks later, he bought a professional camera and lenses. Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes and wildlife of his new home in southwestern Colorado, he developed a deep appreciation and respect for nature. He was able to mix new found loves of nature and photography to begin a career as a photographer.
