Along the Upper East Canyon of Zion National Park travelers will find the aptly named Checkerboard Mesa.
The cone-shaped White Cliffs formation has unique cross-hatching patterns that, even when not filled with winter snow, conjure up its name.
New Year's Day 2020 was very overcast in this part of Utah, so we left Zion for a two hour drive to Bryce, where the skies were more open in the mid-afternoon. Along the way, this was a neat stop to hike down into the dry bed of Pine Creek and squeeze a few images on a relatively dull day.
made it to Dallas.. as always, easy, easy drive UNTIL we hit the Fort Worth City Line.. and then it was OY HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DO IT.. traffic .. Will catch up as I can the next couple of days
Taken on a rainy September day.
Upper Mesa Falls is a large and beautiful waterfall located on the Henrys Fork of the Snake River in Eastern Idaho.
The 10-story tall waterfall is the only major waterfall on the Snake river to resist human control, along with its smaller sister Lower Mesa Falls downstream. The eruption of a super volcano, most likely located under Yellowstone National Park, created the sudden ledge.
Thanks for taking a look!
Was bouncing some flash with my LED light against some rocks to my far left. Like this sky as well with some clouds there along with the Milky Way.
A view of canyon country through Mesa Arch in the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. The La Sal Mountains are in the distance.

Reached this location second day again at 5:45AM as the first day got washed out as it was cloudy. Braved the 26F biting cold and waited for almost 2 hours for sunrise. It was worth the effort, a sight to cherish!!
Mesa Arch, Canyonlands.
Like Delicate Arch this is an icon of the US southwest, and like Delicate Arch it gets very busy.
I've been at Mesa Arch previously for sunrise and the sunstar on the arch, but I didn't fancy going into battle again to get a primetime spot. So, I settled for about an hour after sunrise - no sunstar but no big crowd either, a nice glow and plenty of opportunity to set up in a number of different spots.
This shot is definitely not like the usual "Iconic" view” of this arch, but this is exactly what I wanted)) In my opinion, it would be unfair to show this beautiful Arch in such a one-sided perspective, as well as the Horseshoe Bend. Let me know if you like it or not)

Some indirect lighting there at Mesa Arch with the clouds and Milky Way there mixing it up in the night sky.
Here the LED light was used during the entire exposure. Amazing that a small flashlight no bigger than two inches long pointing it behind and to my right off some rocks in that direction can add so much light back into the scene.
Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde
Mesa Verde lights up a display once a year and we were lucky enough to have Cliff Palace lit this year. We arrived a little after 2:00PM to get a good setup spot and since we were the 1st ones arriving it was prime. By twilight time there must have been well over 100 photographers and tripods. This shot is composed of 4 vertical shots stitched together in a panorama method.
Dawn at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah. The most striking thing about the arch is how the emerging sun suddenly catches the underside of the arch and turns it a fiery red. It's a great place for sun stars as well, although it's tougher to get into position for that because you're jockeying for position with thirty other people even in March. Summer must be a real bear. Fortunately everyone was polite and kept rotating to the left. You took your 20 shots and then moved to the left until you were off the grid, so to speak.
The sun breaks the horizon over the La Sal mountain range in the distance with Washer Woman Butte in view beneath the Mesa Arch (Canyonlands National Park).
As anyone who has shot this location knows (myself now included) the struggle to get a composition is the real story behind this arch. After arriving to the location 15 min later than my planned arrival due to a Maverik stop for hot cocoa, I realize that I am 1 hour behind reality. Cuddling up to a fellow Canon shooter in a Patagonia and a beanie, I found a spot among about one dozen tripods and another dozen Facebook/Twitter/Instagramers with nothing but their iPhones in their pockets (for a while, I thought they were there to just soak in the view and block my shot). Then, the show began with cascade of shutter releases that reminded me of a time when I spilt a bottle of Chiclets on the kitchen floor. By the time I had snapped off about 30 shots and weaved in and out of traffic, the show was over. I must say, for another "iconic" photograph it was a lot more fun than I had imagined.
Next time, I'll skip the hot cocoa.
Antelope Mesa (in the center of the photo) is seen in this photo from a scenic viewpoint on the Chief Joseph Highway as it desends Dead Indian Hill northeast of Cody, Wyoming. The mesa is capped by The Pilgrim Limestone Member of the Cambrian Gallatin Formation (~500 million years old) and is located on the eastern end of Sunlight Basin The Chief Joseph Highway can be seen in the photo as it passes near the west side of the mesa. To the upper left of the photo is the south end of Sugarloaf Mountain; to the upper center and riaht is the flank of the Beartooth Plateau. The Clarks Fork Canyon, which is not visible, lies to the right of the mesa. The rocks visible along the canyon area and the flank of the plateau are PreCambrian granitic gneisses and schists that are about 2.8 to 2.6 billion years old.
In Canyonlands National Park, Mesa Arch is known world wide for its sunrise phenomenon. Although this place can get three to four deep with photographers cheek to cheek it was one of the most inspiring, almost spiritual experiences. Have to get here before sunrise to claim your spot. This was taken after most had taken their snaps and we were free to roam around.
Thanks for viewing and your comments. For my Canadian friends... Happy Thanksgiving.. eh
