Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.
When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.
Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.
Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!
There was a light snow that had fallen in Arches National Park the day before we got there. It was nice to see that it hadn't melted as it provides some nice contrast amongst the landscape.
This is an example of one of the many hiking paths within the park. The evening sun was just hitting the peaks of the rocks in the distance.
Shot from a distance with the OM1 72mm lens, equivalent to 144mm on full frame. It is very sharp, very happy with this lens.

A glorious clear night sky over this iconic formation Utah. A great time to the exploring in the dark.
View there in Glacier National Park ... such a pretty location and fun to explore with the tripod and filters.
