This is the classic shot of Horseshoe bend in Page, AZ. We were passing through from Bryce Canyon down to the Grand Canyon, and had to stop. We ended up going here three times! First was for sunset, but the light didn't really work out, then second was this time for sunrise, and the third was because my step-dad was with us and did not go the first two times, and I wanted to make sure he got a moment to see it. It is a really cool place! Also, it looks like they are installing guard rails now, and I am not sure how I feel about it. On one hand it might make is safer, but on the other it might make this iconic shot more difficult. For some reason, there is something special about hanging your feet over the edge! Anyhow, this was a fun place to shoot, and I am very glad I was able to see it! Hopefully next time there will be a bit more interest in the sky! Enjoy :)
Moving sculpture by Janet Echelman on the Pier in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The site of this installation marks the place where local citizens began to peacefully challenge racial barriers, leading to the 1957 Supreme Court case ruling which upheld the rights of all citizens to enjoy the use of the municipal beach and swimming pool without discrimination. The title, "Bending Arc" refers to the words of Martin Luther King, "...the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
A very warm december. No chance of snow or nice christmans scenes.
Here is a photo of the wonderful Grand Teton National Park from 2014 with some snow in the mountains.

Horseshoe Bend , Page , Arizona
Sometimes your preference to which image to edit changes from time to time. This is during the same sunset as i shot the previous edit of the Horse Shoe Bend this one is much earlier in the sunset. I now wonder why i didnt decide to edit this one instead it had much better color. I guess i was so fascinated with how the colors changed and how they came and went away and came back again. So now looking back i find this one much better then my last but could be personal opinion! So i decided to edit this one as of late to show everyone.
"Trin-Alcove Bend is on the Green River at the mouth of Three Canyon in Labyrinth Canyon. Powell wrote, 'These canyons are very tortuous, almost closed in from view, and, seen from the opposite side of the river, they appear like three alcoves; and we name this Trin-Alcove Bend.'"

I'm really excited to share this one.
Though often photographed, Horseshoe Bend is one of my favorite views in the world. Because you can't see the immense vista until you walk up to the precipice, the combination of heart-stopping beauty and adrenaline-pumping vertigo packs a punch unparalleled by any other view I can think of, including the Grand Canyon.
The New Year's Eve blizzard buried Page in a rare blanket of snow, and this was the incredible result on Horseshoe Bend.
this has hung in a window in our home for as long as I can remember. on those rare sunny afternoons, it casts beautiful little rainbows all over the library and the stairs.
boosted a little to bring out the colours.
check out the physics of the rainbow.
Wonderful place to shoot. Only about a mile off of the main drag. Uphill to the middle, both directions. After I took this shot, we headed back uphill and were hit by a snow squall. Unusual day to say the least. Bottom center, opposite bank, is a boat tied up with four people fishing...just to give you a idea of the scale of this place. Explore No. 205, April 7, 2014.
I can't leave a series from Horseshoe Bend without posting at least this one view of the whole bend. This is before sunrise, but even then, the contrast can be really difficult. I deal with that issue, mostly by leaving the sky out of my compositions.

A bend in the canyon narrows, Death Valley National Park.
Slot canyons and “narrows” are among the most compelling desert landscapes. Most desert spaces tend to be exposed, open to the sky and wind, and blasted by the midday sun. The spaces seems horizontally oriented, often with a distant horizon and perhaps low mountains ascending from playas. The canyons contrast with this in almost every way. They are places of shade, often protected from wind, and the distant horizontal views are cut off, replaced by close surfaces covered with angles and curves.
It turns out that there are many smaller canyons in Death Valley. In fact they may be among the least-known and most interesting features of the place. There are a few that are popular, but most are a bit off the beaten path and some are downright difficult to get to. Their lonely quality is part of their charm, and I hope it stays that way. This particular spot presents a fascinating combination of the blue-light shadowed stratified walls, the water stained face in the warmer light above, and the canyon floor covered in gravel washed down by flowing water.

Big Bend National Park, Texas. Wonderful sunrise in early November. It was snowing in the far northern parts of Texas and it was near 90 degrees in these parts on this day.
The excitement of not knowing what’s around the next bend, inside the Shing Mun Redoubt.
A photo story from Hong Kong:
Horseshoe Bend is one of the most photographed areas on the Colorado River, located just north of Grand Canyon and outside Page, Arizona. It is accessible via hiking a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) round trip from U.S. Route 89. The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop.
A monochrome version of Horseshoe Bend. I posted a color horseshoe bend pic a couple of weeks ago. This is not an identical comp, it was taken from a different (and less precarious) perch that provided a bit more angle on the river.
I keep thinking I am coming to the end of the postable photos from my New Years trip to Nevada/Utah/Arizona with friends Kevin Benedict and Josh Krasner, but then I keep finding "one more thing" that I like enough to work on. Sometimes monochrome shots reveal detail and beauty in landscapes that appeal greatly to me. I particularly liked the "oily" look of the water in this picture. The monochrome also lends a sense of the timelessness of this classic western US landscape.
