{"product_id":"armstrong-woods-iv-lucem-in-nemore-1","title":"Armstrong Woods IV: Lucem in Nemore","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLucem in nemore\u003c\/em\u003e—light in the forest—names the thing Armstrong Woods is specifically good at. It is not the grandest grove on the coast; Prairie Creek and Humboldt have taller trees and larger groves. What Armstrong offers instead is intimacy: a canyon-cut reserve in Sonoma County where Armstrong Creek runs cold and clear beneath redwoods that have been here for fourteen centuries, and where the trail system keeps you close to the trees rather than watching them from a distance. The grove's preservation dates to the 1870s, when Colonel James Armstrong chose to protect it rather than harvest it. That act of early stewardship is why this light exists to be photographed. On clear mornings, light reaches the forest floor for roughly forty minutes before the canopy closes over it. It is a narrow window — soft and directional, falling at a low angle through the redwood columns and reaching the water just long enough to illuminate the creek surface without blowing the highlights. This image was made in that window: Armstrong Creek as a vanishing point, the root buttresses as anchor, the mist still burning off the lower slopes. The pastoral is not a lesser quality than the monumental. It is a different argument for why these trees matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis image bears a striking similarity to \u003cem\u003eArmstrong Woods II: Columnas\u003c\/em\u003e. But the two images are of distinctly different prospects of the same creek, each 180° opposite from the other on either side of the walkway through Armstrong Woods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hammond Raffetto Art","offers":[{"title":"Acrylic Block Gift Set \/ 8 x 8″","offer_id":47207642955949,"sku":"625824-32787299-203000-203000","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 10 x 10″","offer_id":47207642988717,"sku":"625656-32787299-254000-254000","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 15 x 15″","offer_id":47207643021485,"sku":"625656-32787299-381000-381000","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 20 x 20″","offer_id":47207643054253,"sku":"625656-32787299-508000-508000","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 25 x 25″","offer_id":47207643087021,"sku":"625656-32787299-635000-635000","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 30 x 30″","offer_id":47207643119789,"sku":"625656-32787299-762000-762000","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 40 x 40″","offer_id":47207643152557,"sku":"625656-32787299-1016000-1016000","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Bonded Acrylic \/ 45 x 45″","offer_id":47207643185325,"sku":"625656-32787299-1143000-1143000","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passe-Partout White Frame \/ 15 x 15″","offer_id":47207643218093,"sku":"625803-32787299-381000-381000","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passe-Partout White Frame \/ 20 x 20″","offer_id":47207643250861,"sku":"625803-32787299-508000-508000","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passe-Partout White Frame \/ 25 x 25″","offer_id":47207643283629,"sku":"625803-32787299-635000-635000","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passe-Partout Black Frame \/ 15 x 15″","offer_id":47207643316397,"sku":"625806-32787299-381000-381000","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passe-Partout Black Frame \/ 20 x 20″","offer_id":47207643349165,"sku":"625806-32787299-508000-508000","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passe-Partout Black Frame \/ 25 x 25″","offer_id":47207643381933,"sku":"625806-32787299-635000-635000","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Textile \/ 15 x 15″","offer_id":47207643414701,"sku":"625825-32787299-381000-381000","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Textile \/ 20 x 20″","offer_id":47207643447469,"sku":"625825-32787299-508000-508000","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Textile \/ 25 x 25″","offer_id":47207643480237,"sku":"625825-32787299-635000-635000","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Textile \/ 30 x 30″","offer_id":47207643513005,"sku":"625825-32787299-762000-762000","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Textile \/ 40 x 40″","offer_id":47207643545773,"sku":"625825-32787299-1016000-1016000","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Textile \/ 45 x 45″","offer_id":47207643578541,"sku":"625825-32787299-1143000-1143000","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclée Alu-Dibond \/ 15 x 15″","offer_id":47207643611309,"sku":"625807-32787299-381000-381000","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclée Alu-Dibond \/ 20 x 20″","offer_id":47207643644077,"sku":"625807-32787299-508000-508000","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclée Alu-Dibond \/ 25 x 25″","offer_id":47207643676845,"sku":"625807-32787299-635000-635000","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclée Alu-Dibond \/ 30 x 30″","offer_id":47207643709613,"sku":"625807-32787299-762000-762000","price":875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclée Alu-Dibond \/ 40 x 40″","offer_id":47207643742381,"sku":"625807-32787299-1016000-1016000","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/8597\/7418\/files\/2707505f-ced5-4688-bd1a-34825b6298a1.png?v=1786468576","url":"https:\/\/hammondraffetto.art\/es\/products\/armstrong-woods-iv-lucem-in-nemore-1","provider":"Hammond Raffetto Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
