One thing I like about this image, and my experience in Zion National Park as a whole, is that despite how glorious the fall foliage is/was, it is the rocks that make this scene for me. They are always present as one wanders through Zion Canyon, and despite the numerous other sights there to catch one's eye: trees, river, people, etc, behind it all are the cliffs of rock with their characteristic red hue. Even the light in the canyon is constantly influenced by these walls of stone. So yeah, while the river winding through this image is a nice line to follow and the splash of fall foliage will get the most attention, it is the stolid face of the cliffs behind it all that anchors this scene for me.

Lining up next to all the full frame cameras and huge tripods...there I was with my Olympus Omd with a 2 inch tripod...
A re-edit of one of my first ever posts on 500px. The more I looked at it the more I wanted a tighter crop and a moodier feel. So apologies for the re-post, I couldn't ignore it any longer! Comments welcome. Here's the story: I took this long exposure from my favorite spot along the Narrows hike in Zion National park. Flash floods are a real danger in this slot canyon - sudden torrents of water come rushing down the gorges and sweep everything away. Sadly, just a week after I did this trek a hiker was killed not far from this spot in a flash flood. So if you're planning to shoot here check the weather forecast before you set out!
A crisp and cold morning at Zion National Park, the day after a storm dumped a bunch of snow in the park.

A stormy day in Zion national park. My favorite view behind the Museum, looking towards the West Temple.
Sure, there were some interesting formations, but now close to the end of my trip and everything that I've seen, especially the day before in Bryce, I was a bit blase.
