The story behind the photograph
My daughter went to school in Oregon, and for the many trips out and back through her career, Twin Falls, Idaho is the functional halfway point for us. Entering Twin Falls, the majestic Perrine Bridge spans the canyon nearly 500 feet above the Snake River near the site of famous daredevil Evel Knievel’s unsuccessful 1974 jump across the canyon. For us this was a regular quick stop on our way in and out on these trips, for me, hopeful for a sunrise or sunset memory.”
Joy Comes in the Morning · Psalm 30:5
“FOR HIS ANGER IS FLEETING, BUT HIS FAVOR LASTS A LIFETIME. WEEPING MAY STAY THE NIGHT, BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.”
In Tom Bartel's words
“My daughter went to school in Oregon, and for the many trips out and back through her career, Twin Falls, Idaho is the functional halfway point for us.”

The sun sits on the rim of a low mesa, its disc still whole and burning white at the centre of a halo that bleeds orange across the lower sky. Cirrus streaks fan outward overhead, catching pink and coral light where they cross the last of the blue. The land itself is reduced to a flat silhouette, broken only by the bluff edge and two distant poles on the horizon.
Why these words
The dark ridge and the cool blue upper band are the night side of the frame; the fire at the horizon is the turn. The verse fits whether the viewer reads this as dusk or dawn, since the image holds both.
The photograph that inspired this piece
It begins with an original photograph by Tom Bartel of a real place. This version was developed from that photograph in our studio, using digital and AI tools guided by the original’s own composition, and these words set over the finished picture. How these are made.
