This is a long hike up towards Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. For the young and young at heart it is a wonderful climb and yields breathtaking views of the valley below, but if your heart runs on a pacemaker it takes just a bit longer.
This wonderful little slot canyon yields so many surprises, sometimes it is open wide and you can see the sky, other places it looks to be a dead end, while elsewhere it is dark and foreboding. Every time I see these I just yearn to be back there again.
Here the light almost doesn't make it into the canyon, dark and moody, scary. As your imagination sees a cougar charging towards you from the shadows and nowhere to run.
This view of the slot canyon almost looks like the end, but one can squeeze through and keep going. What a rush to be in a canyon where you know that you are not in control.
This was fun to wade into to get this shot. The water became too deep to continue but I was nearly at the end of the slot canyon anyway. I really loved the way the colors were reflected in the water and the walls were lit by reflection.
Sometimes the most unlikely objects are the subject of my photography. I have no idea what this is but I sure liked the way it came out. The stinging nettle next to it wasn't any fun though.
While looking around for a spot to shoot the stream in Millcreek Canyon we were walking down the road when a cyclist passed us by. After a few tries I finally got the shot I was looking for.
