Sunday Sunrise. LOOKS BEST ENLARGED ON BLACK..... The photo is very close to the way it came out of the camera. It is not an HDR.
This is a panorama taken at Dead Horse Point Overlook, in the state park in Utah, adjacent to Canyonlands National Park. The light is really interesting against the rocks. In the shadow areas the light is cool and the rock reddish. As the sun rises the sunlight creates a warm golden glow on the distant rocks. It's a beautiful place to watch the sunrise! Hope you enjoy!

On a flat plain, a river will not travel in a straight line, but meanders through the land and given enough time it will cut these meanderings through solid rock. Here the muddy San Juan River's meanderings have cut these gooseneck canyons into the southern Utah sedimentary rock. The San Juan then carries this reddish iron oxide laden sediment to the Colorado (Spanish for reddish) River helping that river live up to its name. Also in this image, on the right horizon, a keen eye may be able to discern some of the "monuments" of Monument Valley some 25 miles (40 km) away.
This panorama was constructed using Photoshop Elements to stitch together two landscape-oriented images horizontally.

We had it start to snow on Christmas eve. We had thought it would be a green Christmas. As it turned out we had three days of snow. LOOKS BEST ENLARGED ON BLACK
This morning it was a minus 6 degrees,now at noon we're at a balmy 2. Even though I took this a few days ago (and it was cold then) it made me feel like I do when I step outside. The song "Baby,it's cold outside" came to mind thinking of our current temps.
LOOKS BEST ENLARGED on BLACK..........Will be away for a few days,going to try my luck up at the Tetons.

Utah’s Kodachrome Basin State Park, on the Colorado Plateau, consists of monolithic stone spires, called sedimentary pipes, accentuate multihued sandstone layers that reveal geologic history from the Jurassic period (180 million years ago) to the Cretaceous period (95 million years ago).

Dead Horse Point or "The Gooseneck"
Dead Horse Point State Park stands at an altitude of approx. 5,900 feet and features dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. Dead Horse Point is a peninsula of rock atop sheer sandstone cliffs which is connected by a narrow strip of land called "the neck"
In 1950, when Calvin Ireys was looking to purchase the land, he and his family looked at a number of properties. When asked which one they liked best, his kids responded, "the one with the dead horse" and so he purchased the land and named it Dead Horse Ranch. Subsequently, when the land was sold to the state of Utah, Mr. Ireys made keeping the name a stipulation of the sale.
The "dead horse" portion of the name though is actually a sad legend associated with this park. As the story goes, cowboys would round up wild mustangs roaming the mesa top and herd them across the narrow neck of land to "the point". Here the cowboys would chose the horses they wanted and the culls were left on the waterless point where they later perished from thirst, within view of the Colorado River, approx. 2,000 feet below (how cruel!).
I know another crackle desert photo! It's one that I keep coming back to, so I thought I'd just get it over with an post it. Hope you like it.
Kodachrome Basin State Park, near Bryce Canyon NP, is aptly named. This place felt like the heart of red rock country.

Dead Horse Point State Park is a state park of Utah in the United States, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. The park covers 5,362 acres of high desert at an altitude of 5,900 feet (1,800 m).
The recent news accounts of the three Boy Scout leaders toppling one of the rock formations in Goblin Valley State Park, UT prompted me to go through my archives of images from this very special place. I've been there several times and plan to keep going back because it's such a uniquely beautiful place. Hopefully, no more of these fascinating formations will ever be destroyed by anything other than the forces that created them.
