Twin Lakes below Mt Elbert Sawatch Range Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Two glacial lakes at the foot of Mount Elbert, in the eastern Sawatch. The mountain is the highest in the Rocky Mountains and the second-highest summit in the lower forty-eight, and on calm mornings the lake holds the whole of it. The old mining village beside the water sits on the National Register of Historic Places. Highway 82 climbs west from here over Independence Pass to Aspen, open from late May to early November when the snow allows. The rest of the year it is mostly the lakes, the mountain, and the quiet.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
