After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)
This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)
I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.
I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everybody!! :)

In the shadow of dawn
The running light is like a bonfire
a cool morning sunset
Down there is our home.
Is this silence an opportunity?
Should I lean on you?
Is it just my own thought
Should I sit still or step up?
I wonder if he's stepping up again
On top of the half-open sun
Let's just sit there with our legs folded
Like a warm blanket
If the sun covers us, we'll melt away
I'll be right back when I wake up in the middle of the night
It must be the light that protected our young night
Let's go see it again
Sitting on the sunshine
sunshine is over me she gets over me
make us feel alive
sunshine is over me she gets over me
She will love
all the above
past and present, fast forward
who will define
whatever they say
we stay the same.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
From now on we will stay just like this.

Location: The river Prüm in Irrel in the South Eifel near the Luxembourg border and not far from my home.
Looking for new perspectives today I found this place, where you stand in the water. There I hear then only the sound of water, a true meditation.
Ort: Das Flüsschen Prüm bei Irrel in der Südeifel nahe der luxemburgischen Grenze und nicht weit von meiner Heimat.
Auf der Suche nach neuen Perspektiven habe ich heute diese Stelle gefunden, bei der man auch ins Wasser muss. Dort höre ich dann nur das Rauschen des Wassers, eine wahre Meditation.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!
