Every element in this composition speaks of the untamed beauty of Portland's wilderness. The elk, with its imposing antlers, serves as a proud guardian of these serene landscapes. One can almost feel the crispness of the mountain air and hear the gentle lap of water against the lakeshore rocks. The orange hues of dawn cast a warm glow over the scene, enhancing the rich details and textures from the elk’s fur to the rugged mountains in the distance. This fine art print captures not only a moment in nature but also evokes a sense of peace and admiration for these wild, unspoiled vistas. *** About the Elk: The elk, also known as wapiti, is one of the largest species within the deer family, Cervidae, and is native to North America and parts of Asia. Known for their large antlers, which can be shed annually, males (bulls) use them during the fall breeding season to battle for dominance and the right to mate with females (cows). Habitats preferred by elk include open forests, where they browse on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Majestic and robust, elk are vital to biodiversity, playing significant roles in the ecosystems where they reside.
