Bad Moon Rising

Or was it a good moon rising?

 

The full moon over the mesas of Canyonlands National Park, Utah, United States of America.

 

This shot was made just after the clouds had obscured a sunset. Just as I was about to kick rocks on my way back to camp after another disappointing cloudy day, I looked up and saw the glow of the moon coming from around the bluff. I'm thinking, what the heck? The clouds parted for about 10 minutes which allowed me to shoot this scene like a super model. :)

 

Some day I will get a good long lens for these shots, but until then I'll have to put up with taking shots like this. ;)

 

Please check out the last shot that I posted if you haven't seen it yet. It's a rare day when I get to shoot a rainbow, let alone one reflecting in water. :)

 

Thank you so much for all of the great comments since I've been back. It took the bulk of the morning to sort through and reply to emails before I could even start to think about work. I hate vacations... Umm, I mean I hate returning from vacations. :)
