In the heart of a forest ablaze with autumn's touch, an old GMC truck finds its final resting place among the aspens. Its rusted body, a testament to nature's reclaiming power, lies enveloped in a bed of fallen leaves and the embrace of the woods. This juxtaposition of man-made history and natural beauty tells a story of time's passage and nature's enduring patience.

Art by Michael Underwood.

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.
