Gold Mine
Some beautiful light reflecting off the steep canyon walls in the Wall Street section of Zion's Narrows. Second shot from a trip there with Kevin Benedict and
Josh Krasner back in November. The Narrows is a very popular trail so getting a shot without a horde of people in it is an exercise in patience. I tried to think of some use of "gold" that went with the Wall Street theme, and this is the (admittedly weak ass) best I could do after hours of puzzling. I think the old Puzzler has been Grinched by too much holiday cheer. However, it is tough to beat the incredible pure gold coloring in these walls and reflected in the water. I was as mesmerized by it as the miners of bygone days, and I couldn't be happier than traipsing miles through freezing cold water in search of the elusive golden image to bring home in digital nugget form.
Wishing a Happy New Year and fantastic 2020 to all.
EDIT: Rereading the text I realized I used the wrong 'hoard' (one sees a horde of people hoarding toilet paper these days)
