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!

Now I really really really enjoy my sleep ins...but its a morning like this that makes you thankful for getting out of bed.
Its a single exposure using a Cokin GND8 and Circ Polarizer. I know that the dark part above the cloud won't be to everyone's cup of tea, but I like how it shows the top parts of the cloud off.
Anyway..its my interpretation. Have a great week everyone
This gateway leads into the Capitol Gorge area of Capitol Reef National Park.
As we viewed sheer cliffs in many places on this trip, like the cliff on the left, we wondered what massive force(s) would make an almost perfectly flat slab of vertical rock loosen itself and fall. Just one of the many things that come to mind when beholding such natural marvels.
The term reef in this context had puzzled me because I normally thought of a reef in an aquatic setting. Wikipedia, however, comes to the rescue. In a dry land setting, ā⦠reef refers to any rocky barrier to land travel, just as ocean reefs are barriers to sea travel.ā

This point near Bell Buoy Beach in northern Tasmania marks the beginning of a rocky reef. As the name suggests it extends out to sea and along the coast for two miles. It is one of the reasons the Low Head Lighthouse was built to warn shipping.
Reef like a aquarium

Capitol Reef Sunrise: The color of the rocks at Utah's Capitol Reef National Park give a fantastic analogous color match with the rising sun, with the spots of green complimenting the magenta hues. I found this excellent sunrise view at Sunset Point, which is a perfect location for getting a grand view of this beautiful park.
