Angels Landing

As we started up the trail to Angels Landing this is the view we saw. It began to lightning and rain just a bit but we pushed forward and were rewarded with some very beautiful scenes. I really enjoyed the clouds and the subdued light that they provided. This is a 5 shot HDR.

Golden Chocolate Slot

There is a wonderful little slot canyon just east of the main tunnel in Zion Canyon National Park that I just happened into a couple of years ago. I really enjoy going there to take photos. Every year the slot has changed due to flooding, not so much the walls but the floor and there are sometimes trees jammed into the walls that add interest. The light filtering into the canyon from above reflects off of the walls and adds a nice golden glow to the rest of the canyon.

Cave View in Zion

This shallow grotto is on the way to the Zion Canyon Overlook, a one mile hike that starts just east of the main tunnel in Zion National Park. I was standing there next to my wife when I realized this is actually a pretty nice view.

Pinnacle Peak

Pinnacle Peak is a beautiful formation that stands just outside Price, UT. I found a bit of water to get this nice reflection.

Spring Dance

This playful and touching statue graces the grounds surrounding Temple Square. The beautiful flowers in their springtime colors and blossoms add to the magical moment of a young mother with her three children.

On a Summer Evening

On a late summer evening Judi and I decided to take a walk on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, UT. As we entered Temple Square this beautiful view of the temple greeted us. I was really taken by its grandeur and beauty with the lovely flowers at my feet and the trees framing the lighted temple.

Lighted Spires

As I was walking away from Temple Square I happened to look over my shoulder, this scene stopped me in my tracks and made me unpack my camera gear.
