The root ball seen lodged high overhead in this slot canyon is evidence of just how high the water reaches during a storm in Zion National Park. This slot canyon is located just above the tunnel in Dry Gulch.
This is the bridge one must cross to gain access to the trail leading to Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. It takes a lot of patience waiting for the right moment to capture it without tourists standing on it.
Night photography is so much fun in Zion National Park. All of the tourists are back at camp so the whole park belongs to those who know how to shoot it. Normally I can set up in the middle of the road without any concern for traffic or having someone walk in front of my lens. This bluff stands just across the road from the main lodge in ZNP. A long shutter time allows for the correct exposure to capture all of the beauty of the park.
I stopped along the road to admire and take pictures of a small group of Big Horn Sheep. It was fun to watch them as they were watching me. I suppose they were keeping an eye on me to make sure I wasn't going to do anything to them as I was very close to them.
Zion National Park's Checkerboard Mesa is lit up by a full moon in this photo taken from the parking lot adjacent to the mesa. Night shooting is always so much fun and the results can be stunning.
A wonderful twisted tree trunk caught my eye as I was coming down from Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park. I stopped and lit it up with a flashlight and used a long exposure to get the stars in the photo also.
While coming down from the east entrance and through the tunnel I noticed this wonderful bed of dried grasses running along the river. I stopped and sat on the river bank and took this shot. I really like the lines of the grass, river, and hills of Zion National Park.
