As I was walking back to the parking lot here at Shoshone Falls I noticed this natural stone bridge with the falls in the background. It made a lovely scene so I shot a picture of it. I was not particularly impressed with the results so I walked on. When I was reviewing the files later I still did not really think much of it. I opened it in ON1 Photo RAW and could see how I might make this jump just a bit. It didn't take much and the photo is now one of the best I have taken at the falls.
Along the return trail from The Narrows in Zion National Park this is the scene that greets you. In the fall with the sun low in the sky it is a rewarding view.
After wading up into The Narrows along the Virgin River in Zion National Park I turned around and saw this beautiful and colorful scene. The water seeps out of a seam in the rock and flows across the wall. With that and the fall colors it was truly amazing.
I have been going back to this little slot canyon in Zion National Park for a long time now and find it new and exciting every time I return. This was taken in 2013 on the first time found this wonderful place.
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.
