Cedar Breaks National Monument near St George Utah and Bryce Canyon National Park. The plateau is at an elevation of 10000 ft with the canyon some 2000 ft below. The orange and yellow coloration of the canyon walls are the result of copper and manganese salts.

I'm posting three images of a Short-eared Owl I shot earlier this summer. All three are heavy crops so I've hesitated posting them. But I really like them. They are about 3mpx images.
The Dead Horse Point canyon was formed during hundreds by millions of years of deposition and erosion. The layers of rock were originally deposited by wind and sediment in streams, rivers and seas. The erosional processes that carved these intricate canyons are gravity, the river, wind, moisture and the freezing and thawing action of water. The hardness of the layer of rock determines if it forms a cuff or slope.
The bottom layer of sediment where the river is now was deposited over 275 million years ago.

This shot was taken at dusk while standing on the drive of Dead Horse Point State Park's Kayenta campground site 21...one of our favorite spots. The wildflowers were in bloom everywhere in all shades of yellow, purple, blue, red, and white. At this time of day, the campers have returned from their day's activities of hiking, biking and jeeping and soft quietness begins to fill the air as everyone settles in for the night. A gentle breeze begins to blow from the west cooling the red sandstone. PEACE!
The canyon has been the site of Hollywood films such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Electric Horseman, and Jeremiah Johnson.
Hikers in Snow Canyon State Park near St George Utah. This section of the canyon is composed of ancient volcanic flows and red and white Navajo Sandstone formations.
I was reading a memoir by an astrophysicist and he mentioned that a lot of people don’t know that the moon can sometimes be seen during the daytime. He attributed it to the fact that people in modern times don’t look at the sky as much as they use to. I think it may also be that so many people live in well lit cities where tall skyscrapers hide a wide view, and light “pollution” obscures the wonders of a dark night sky. There are many areas of the country, however, where people are lucky enough to view the sky in all its splendor. This photo was taken from the campground in Snow Canyon State Park, Utah. It was taken around 1:30 in the afternoon, with a polarizer filter on my lens to darken the daytime sky and make for better contrast.
The vegetation of the area consists of desert plants such as scrub, yucca, flowering and non-flowering cacti, and sagebrush.
Goblins in Snow. Way in the distance is a rock formation that I think looks like a Tyranosaurus Rex coming over the horizon.
