“We are so excited to have your photograph in our home! We love it!! Thank you for sharing your talents and for personally delivering it.” This testimonial highlights the personal service that sets Van Strohm Photography apart in the fine art market. The Sunburst photograph features a dramatic bristlecone pine tree clinging to a cliff edge at Cedar Breaks National Monument, with the setting sun creating spectacular glory rays through orange-illuminated clouds.
This award-winning image – which took third place at the Capturing the Light Art Show at Red Cliff Gallery in St. George – captures one of nature’s most resilient subjects. Bristlecone pine trees, the oldest living trees in the world, thrive in the harsh, inhospitable conditions where other trees cannot survive, making them a powerful symbol of endurance and natural beauty.
Personal delivery service allowed these homeowners to see exactly how this Cedar Breaks National Monument photograph would look in their space, ensuring optimal placement to showcase the dramatic interplay of ancient tree, cliff formation, and celestial light. The piece now brings the wonder of Southern Utah’s high-elevation wilderness into their daily living environment, serving as a daily reminder of nature’s resilience and beauty.
Available in metal prints with aluminum mounting systems, canvas with wire hangers, or fine art paper with 1-inch borders, this bristlecone pine photography continues to be a favorite among collectors who appreciate both artistic excellence and the symbolic power of these ancient trees.
