Memory Grove, Salt Lake City by John Paul Jespersen

Contender John Paul Jespersen's night images offer up winter wonderlands that, at first glance, appear unreal or created. There is hardly a trace of man in the backyards of condos or on the snowy mountains he captures, but then, in the distance, a light can be spotted off in the distance.

The skies take on green and yellow and purple hues, full of the swirling colors of both ambient and incandescent lights, emanating from street lamps and reflecting off the snow that has piled onto trees and homes. His world is quiet, and at rest, unaware it is being captured through a camera.
