The first upload of my recent trip to the US South West region.
This is the sunrise just under sunset point in Bryce Canyon National Park, when I shot this I knew I had a beautiful shot and indeed I love it! I hope you like it too. As usual when traveling the 'South West' you're not alone, but atleast I was the only one getting this shot that day :) Everybody was concentrating on the sunburst on Thor's Hammer, which I skipped :)
Technically this is pure Lightroom, I'm moving away from HDR lately because the D800 has such a good sensor (*) that I don't need it anymore to get the look I want.
(*) When it's clean... When shooting a high diaphragm (f22 to get the rays), all the dust spots are focused and come through too, which resulted in about 45! spots in the sky, but with LR 5 it's easy to remove with the new 'visualize spots' when using the spot removal tools.
Recalculated this morning with Bryce 7 on Windows 10 and I7 processor ; It always works

Next stop, Bryce Canyon and what a stunning place! We will definitely be spending a bit more time here next time we go! Some pretty impressive clouds forming over the hoodoos on the afternoon we arrived. This is a three shot vertical panorama. Night time photos to follow!
Au pays des HOODOOS
BRYCE CANYON (du charpentier Ebenezer Bryce)
C’est un immense amphithéâtre composé d’une forêt de pierres aux silhouettes ocre et rose. Ces formations rocheuses s'élevant de terre tels des stalactites rougeâtres sont appelées des Hoodoos, ou Cheminées de Fée. l'érosion des cycles répétés du gel et du dégel a façonné les roches dans le plateau du « Grand escalier » prenant naissance au Grand Canyon.
Décrété National Monument en 1923 et National Park en 1928, le parc est situé entre 2400 et 2740 m. Il est traversé d'une route panoramique d'une trentaine de kilomètres et s’étend sur 145 km2. Bryce Canyon est un véritable paradis pour les visiteurs et les photographes.
It is an immense amphitheater composed of a forest of stones with ocher and pink silhouettes. These rock formations rising from the ground like reddish stalactites are called Hoodoos, or Fairy Chimneys. The erosion of repeated cycles of freezing and thawing shaped the rocks in the plateau of the "Grand Staircase" originating in the Grand Canyon.
Decreted National Monument in 1923 and National Park in 1928, the park is located between 2400 and 2740 m. It is crossed by a panoramic road of about thirty kilometers and extends over 145 km2. Bryce Canyon is a true paradise for visitors and photographers.
Bryce Canyon National Park. We decide to hike down to the "amphitheater" and hike through the hoodoos. Starting down, we know we've made the right choice.

Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA.
Sunrise at Bryce Canyon can be an amazing spectacle. On this morning I was presented with the most amazing fiery sky I have ever seen. Well worth almost freezing to death with the temperature a rather chilly -23c!!!

Bryce Canyon National Park is named for just one of many canyons which form a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters on the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Erosion has carved colorful Claron limestones into thousands of spires, fins, arches and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these unique formations are whimsically arranged and tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name. The canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1875. The area around Bryce Canyon became a U.S. National Monument in 1924 and was designated as a national park in 1928. The park covers 56 mi² (145 km²).
Tree along the edge of the Bryce Canyon cliff edge reaches out to stabilize, and search for nutrients in the sandy terrain.
The impressive Bryce Canyon in Utah. At an elevation of 10,000ft it's hard to image that this was once the sea bed.
The view from Bryce Point. It was 10degrees F on this morning but so worth it with the brilliant sun rise
Spring 2011 was unusually cold in Utah. Normally, we were told, there would be no snow. We got there at the days where there were very heavy show falls but it was relatively warm (32 - 40 F) and the sun was picking out from time to time. So atmosphere and lighting was unusual and beautiful. We liked it a lot and people said we were lucky with the weather and views but I think due to that unusual weather I have not seen a "normal Bryce Canyon, so got to go there again someday :0

from wikipedia...
Bryce Canyon National Park is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon which, despite its name, is not a canyon but a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by wind, water, and ice erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
The Bryce area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon became a U.S. National Monument in 1923 and was designated as a national park in 1928. The park covers 56 square miles (150 km2) and receives relatively few visitors compared to Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, largely due to its remote location. The town of Kanab, Utah, is situated at a central point between these three parks.
