Robert Zavadil


This picture is taken in Glacier National Park. I chose this because it is my favorite place to go. I grew up spending time here and it is pretty much my home away from home. This photo was taken by Robert Zavadil. 
Living in the Flathead Valley, landscape photographer Robert Zavadil has the opportunity to visit Glacier National Park frequently during every season.  He has chosen this place and focused his life around it.  Although the park has taken on a special significance for him, as evidenced in his photography, it is no more inherently beautiful or meaningful than any other place on earth.  What makes a place special is the way it buries itself inside the heart, not whether it is flat or rugged or wild or tame.  Every place is elevated by the love and respect shown toward it, and by the way in which its riches are received. What Robert receives from the Park, he attempts to give back to others through his photography.  Whether he has chosen to capture the close-up detail of a small wildflower or the grandeur of a panoramic view from a mountain summit, his resulting photographic prints are stunning.
