America’s Favorite Photos
Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

Escape on the Range

This photo was taken in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. When the rest of the world seemed to be shut down, farmers and ranchers were still busy taking care of livestock. When this photo was snapped, the cows had gotten out from their pasture and needed to be put back in, especially before night fall. As my mother and I were herding a large herd of cattle, the strolled across a beautiful backdrop of the Colorado sunset. I dropped to the ground, camera in hand, and snapped the photo.
