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.
The falls are in the Troodos mountains at an altitude of 1000m. The height of the waterfall is 7m and is set within mainly a pine forest with plane trees in the river bed.
The first of three falls visited on the day with Stavros.
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
CanyonLands National Park, Utah.
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!!

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.
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.
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.
The most spiritual event I have witnessed. The sun rising to illuminate under the arch.
"Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow."
Joan Baez
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.

A picture I took of the sun rising between the arch at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park.
Sunrise at Mesa Arch in Utah, USA. Early sunrise... lots of photographers were sitting there in the dark waiting for the sun to rise.
Approximately 580,000 people visit Mesa Verde each year. Would you like to explore this spectacular habitation all by yourself? Try going to the site in January, which we did in November, 2006.

FROM THE INTERNET:
Colorado's Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from AD 600 to 1300.
Today the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States.
