Organ Mountains & Poppy Bloom Color Photograph
A color photograph of the Organ Mountains rising over the Mesilla Valley, their jagged granite spires — the defining landmark of Las Cruces and Doña Ana County — set against a sky of broken storm cloud. The foreground carries a full bloom of yellow poppies across the foothill scrub, capturing the transient seasonal event that draws regional photographers to these slopes each year. The print is consistent with chromogenic (C-print) color photography of the late 20th century.
Presented under a double mat, cream over black with a thin gilt liner, in a black wood frame ready for immediate display. The composition pairs the region's most recognizable peaks — designated the Organ Mountains–Desert Peaks National Monument in 2014 — with a wildflower foreground that fixes the image to a specific moment in the desert spring.
CONDITION
Very Good. Print is clean and bright with strong color retention and no visible fading, foxing, or moisture staining. Frame and mats present well with only minor handling wear.
