I have been to the Zion national park three times in total, and I can safely say pound for pound, it has the most attractions of any national park. But I have been noticing a trend among my images from the park. I have many pictures from the western and northern parts of the park but hardly any from the park's eastern side. I noticed this trend is true for images uploaded with the Zion NP tag as well, very from the east portion of the park.

 

It's not that there aren’t any landscape subjects on the eastern side of the park. It's just that the western part of the park is just absolutely stunning. Also, the east side's attractions don’t have a lot of apparent viewpoints making composition difficult. Today's post’s purpose is to showcase the beauty of the eastern side of the Zion NP. I took this shot near the many pools trailhead. There is no pullout here, so I had to walk along the sidewalk and shoot this image rather quickly. I don’t know the exact name of this mesa, but I noticed this composition while we were driving to the checkerboard mesa and, on our way back, decided to see if I could make something of it. I wouldn’t say I liked the results initially, but I have grown to like it over time. It's not spectacular like some of the other spots in the park, it's also a much simpler composition that’s aimed more at showcasing the color and texture of the landscape, and I think it works well in that regard.

I haven't taken any new photos in a couple of days. I got in the car this morning and headed a couple of miles down the road to this pullout on the Seward highway. Just wanted to take a couple of quick shots and I ended up with this 4 photo panorama. Hope you enjoy.

This one's *not* a research participant, but is nonetheless hanging around a busy pullout (where the black bear den can be viewed) with the idea that sooner or later someone will offer food. Yellowstone National Park

 

I really love it's fluff! Monochrome enhances the details.

In early May, the sun rises around 6:40am. If you're visiting Jekyll Island, drive to the northeastern side of the island. If you're traveling north along the east side road, you pull over at the first pullout spot beyond the last set of hotels on the right. Follow the short trail through the dense trees to the southern most section of Driftwood Beach. You'll be amazed how many trees you'll see like this.

 

Feel the gentle ocean breeze...hear the water upon the beach...enjoy the colors of morning's first light...enjoy life!

Perhaps the most popular waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, Narada Falls has an ever-present following of visitors. Veiling over a wall of basalt, the Paradise River slides and plunges 17 feet into a small pool then spreads out and veils 159 feet in a lacy display that can stretch to 75 feet wide at peak flow. When the river is running high, be prepared to get soaked at the viewpoint - the spray is always funneled straight at the trail. While the commonly enjoyed viewpoint provides the best views of the falls, a second, less developed viewpoint further downstream yields a side view of the falls from below, which has been used for some of the more famous pictures of this waterfall. The falls can also be partially viewed from the side of SR 706 near a large pullout about ½ a mile east of the bridge over the Paradise River. During the winter, the falls freeze and become 150 feet of Icicles, which attract ice climbers from afar.

While at an overlook pullout along the Icefields Parkway with a view looking to the south-southeast to the ridges and peaks of the Hooker Icefield with Mount Brussels (Brussels Peak) and Mount Christie. This is at the Goats and Glacier Lookout in Jasper National Park. With this image, I decided to zoom in with the focal length and have those glacial carved ridges and peaks fill the image from edge to edge with portions caught in the morning sunlight.

A pullout job with an ex-ATSF SD45 shoves back into the Departure Yard as it completes its daily task of building trains.

While at a pullout along the Loop Drive in White Sands National Park with a view looking across the dunes and ridges leading up to distant mountains. My thought on composing this image was to capture a leveled-on view with the horizon more less centered across the image. That would help create a symmetry and balance between the white sands in the lower portion of the image and the mountains with blue skies and clouds in the upper portion.

A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across eroded formations and sandstone buttes in this southern Utah high desert landscape. This is at a roadside pullout along U.S. Highway 163 with a view looking to Brighams Tomb, Stagecoach, and King-on-his-Throne.

On an early morning drive north over the Malahat Highway, I detect an amazing sunrise is about to unfold and I am approaching a viewpoint. Taken from the pullout above Bamberton looking over the fog shrouded Saanich Peninsula near Victoria, BC.

Tucked away east of Jackson Hole is local treasure very few take the time to see. The Red Hills of the Gros Ventre Mountains are an exposed sandstone deposit that are leftover from when the region was under a shallow sea, roughly 50 million years ago. The road to the hills is engineered in such a way that immediately after coming around a small bend in the road, a dramatic view of the hills overwhelms you with a sense of natural beauty and wonder. A pullout is conveniently located at that exact location so that you can fully appreciate the view. While the view from the road is amazing, the hike up through the hills is even more rewarding. The trailhead begins on the other side of the road from the Red Hills Ranch and immerses you right away into the red and orange, sandstone landscape. After only a few hundred yards, you find yourself surrounding by the large hills at the bottom of a small canyon. Wildflowers, aspens, willows, and (some burned) evergreen all take their turns sharing the trail with you throughout your gradual ascent during the initial stretch of the trail.

At a roadside pullout with a view looking to the northeast while watching a black bear enjoying go from bush to bush and likely eating whatever caught its interest. For the image composition, I kept a focus on the bear, capturing images when the head was more visible. The rest was metering the setting to not below any highlights, given the bright afternoon sunlight that day.

At a roadside pullout along Texas State Highway 54 with a view looking across the Chihuahuan Desert to the northwest. My thought on composing this image was to use some Highground that I was located on next to this fence line and capture a sweeping view across this desert landscape with the small shrubs and wild grasses leading up to the Sierra Diablo Mountains off in the distance. I decided to keep the horizon more or less centered with the image so that I could include some of the clouds in the skies above. I liked how that was a color contrast to the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. The rest of the composition was exposing the image to get a correct lighting, given the morning sunshine that was coming from behind and still low in the skies above.

There's a large pullout area along Hwy. 62 in southwestern Colorado that provides a nice view of the Sneffels Mountain Range. The clouds over the mountains looked pretty threatening that day!

It's not all about the wildlife in this park, ya know. Ok, I'm sure for most people, it probably *is* all about the wildlife, but you have to admit, that wildlife lives within some spectacular vistas, like this one on the way to the Lamar Valley.

 

I'd returned to Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel from several days staying at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge. The snowcoaches dropped us off, I checked in to my room, then got in my vehicle and headed toward the Lamar Valley with my cameras. As I drove along, I noticed a herd of bison to my right and stopped at a pullout to capture this image.

 

I look at this photo and can feel the stiff, cold winter weather and the fresh air. Capturing a photograph is as much about what you felt at the time as it is about the scene you photograph.

At a roadside pullout a little before the visitor center in the national park. The view is looking to the northwest. The composition is more balanced with the earth tones in the lower portion of the image, contrasted with bluer ones with the mountains and skies above in the upper portion.

A look to the Brazos Cliffs at a roadside pullout in northern New Mexico.

Whenever I enter Mount Rainier National Park via the Stevens Canyon entrance, I always stop at the Falls Creek pullout to photograph this waterfall. Depending upon the time of the year, it can be at full throttle, or a mere trickle, as evidenced by a September shot I uploaded awhile back. I also love photographing this waterfall because of the play of light and shadow, and the many shades of green. Plus, it's good exercise for me in getting in a few "silky water" shots. During this particular instance, it was also good practice working with my new medium format Pentax 645z.

In Joshua Tree National Park at a roadside pullout looking to the east and across a snowy landscape with Joshua Trees and other desert plant-life. With this image, I focused on the one tall Joshua Tree to my front, ensuring that I captured it in its entirety, while also including some other ones to complete the setting in this captured image.

Elephant Seal Rookery

California Coastal Highway

San Simeon, CA

 

This juvenile (1- 3 years old) seal appeared to be quite interested in the small shore bird. I thought it was an interesting picture to give some idea of the size of the seals. The ones pictured here, and indeed any of the 100 or so on this beach, are probably around 5 - 7 feet (1 or 2 m) long.

 

"Adult males are 14 to 16 feet (4 to 5 m) in length and 4,000 to 5,000 pounds (1,400 to 2,300 kg) in weight. The females are much smaller at about 9 to 12 feet (2.5 to 4 m) in length and weigh 900 to 1,800 pounds (400 to 800 kg). "

 

Adult elephant seals spend the majority of their time in the deep sea but do come to rookeries and beaches twice a year: in the spring & early summer to molt and in late fall & winter to mate and give birth. The juveniles, those not yet old enough to mate, have a pullout time for a few weeks in the fall.

 

I've So Many Miles to Travel

And only so many hours left

But the road ahead is straight

With a curve here and there

I just have to make it

And everything will be alright

There are scores of wondrous things to see

On this journey I am making

I should make a point to stop and enjoy them

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning not long after leaving Van Horn, Texas, and at a roadside pullout along Texas State Highway 54. The view is looking to the southeast, back to where I’d driven. My thought on composing this image was to use the road as a leading line. I decided to keep the horizon more or less leveled-on with the image. That would allow me to use more of the road as a foreground. There would then be a strip of distant ridges going across the image center. The blue skies and clouds above would be a color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

As another wonderful day of hiking and enjoying the outdoors, trails, colors, and waterfalls approached its end it was time to enjoy another famous feature of the Shenandoah National Park. All along Skyline Drive one can get beautiful distant views both to the east and west. That makes the park great for both early morning sunrise visits as well as late sunsets after other park activities ... #etbtsy

 

The Treasures of Shenandoah

 

We pulled over to one of the many pullouts along Skyline Drive that offered a nice distant view as well as plenty of foreground colors. I thoroughly enjoyed the clouds and light that nature had in store this evening. Unlike a featureless blue sky would have the clouds and haze darkened the background, diffused the light, and created shafts of light illuminating the land below. All of that combined helped the colors stand out boldly, whether the yellow ...

There are two named overlooks (and one unnamed large pullout) along the narrow, winding Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive at Great Basin National Park in Nevada. This image was captured at Mather Overlook. Now, it was not captured right at the fenced view area, but rather along the side of the gravel road leading to the fenced area.

 

This hazy sunrise looks from the park out into Utah, which is 7 miles away from the park. As you can see, smoke from other states' wildfires has seeped into the area. Makes for some interesting sunrises, and by sunset, the haze had usually dissipated or totally disappeared.

While at a roadside pullout along California State Route 127 with a view looking to the northeast across this Mojave desert setting to more distant mountain views of the Kingston Range and Valjean Hills. I felt that angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward would help create more of a sweeping view leading up to the distant ridges and peaks.

Yesterday I went for a digital photo walkabout in Nightmare Gulch, Red Rock Canyon [California] State Park. I was last there in 2019, very early in my view camera adventures. I figured it was time to take a fresh look at things.

 

Early in my hike, I saw that I was following a group of about a half dozen hikers. I followed them without paying much attention to my route, and they took me into a side canyon I haven't been in before. That was a good thing: it has better and more photographically accessible scenery than most places. They turned around, I continued into the canyon.

 

This collection of hoodoos and rills carved from sandstone embedded with dark stones was the jewel of the day. About a mile from the trailhead, so reachable with a 30# 8x10 kit on my back.

 

The trailhead is accessed via Iron Canyon Road. It used to be that we could pull off CA14 at the driveway to the Red Cliffs Parking Area, immediately make a right onto Iron Canyon Road, and have a fairly easy dirt road drive to the trailhead. It was possible in 2WD, so long as there was enough ground clearance. But a few years ago a flash flood washed out the road where the dry wash crosses under the highway. A mile north of the Red Cliffs entrance is a pullout that accesses the other end of the dirt road loop to Nightmare Gulch. It requires 4WD, high clearance and anti-wheel spin control. This time I took my regular cab single rear wheel diesel 4x4 Ford F350 that has a switch activated rear differential electronic locker.

There's a big movement to stop people from stacking rocks in the wild. They are disruptive of the local ecosystem.

 

I don't think this restriction extends to little pebble stacks like this one.

 

Thank you for a nice bokeh/DOF opportunity, anonymous pebble-stacker.

 

Fall Creek Oregon. Big Fall Creek Road was closed a few miles in. The last pullout before the road closure is probably getting a lot more visits than normal.

 

I enjoyed our stop there.

This photo continues the story of my Pinnacles trip from my last post. After shooting sunrise in the park (not pictured, maybe later), I found that the park rangers deemed the park completely full, and that everyone would have to take shuttles to trailheads instead of driving. It's a small park near a big city, so it must fill up quickly. Instead of exploring the park more, I pulled out my phone and found a "nearby" town that had some restaurants and I thought I deserved a good meal after so much dry food. The town was around 50 miles away. I figured I had all day to wait until sunset to take more photographs so I decided to just drive there. I am not a super spontaneous person, so this was kind of different for me :)

 

Turns out the country roads in that area are GORGEOUS. There were vibrant green fields covering huge rolling green hills in all directions. The fields were dotted with isolated picturesque trees and cows. It was also "liquid sunshine-ing" - you know, when somehow it's sunny and rainy all at once. The whole experience was kind of surreal. It reminded me of southwest Wisconsin on steroids. Unfortunately I couldn't stop on the highway wherever I want, since it was a fast single lane road. I did pull out at pretty much every driveway and pullout I could find to take photos. I had a blast scanning the landscape while watching the shadows of the clouds create dynamic dappled light over the country side.

 

I eventually got into town and had a nice lunch and a stiff drink. It felt fantastic. On the way back, I found the most picturesque composition yet - this one here. I ended up sitting here for a good hour in my car, snapping photos out of my rolled down car window. The light and shadows were changing so fast that it was worth waiting for the perfect lighting.

 

This photo, and the entire region, reminded me very much of the infamous default desktop background for Windows XP. It's called "Bliss" and it was taken north of San Francisco, whereas this was southeast of San Francisco. Being reminded of it again and making an homage to it left me smiling the rest of the day.

 

I went to a trailhead to take photos of sunset, where I found a group of people that looked pretty lost. They walked up to me and asked about where they were (the east side) and how to get back to their car on the west side. The only answer in this park was several miles of hiking through the mountains. I had time and was in a good mood, so I drove them as far as I could to a closer trailhead to a flatter trail (driving to the other side of the park would actually take a couple of hours). It felt good to help them. They still had a few miles of hiking to do before sunset but I'm sure they made it.

 

I shot sunset (nothing notable, photo-wise). I went back to my campsite and slept in my car again.

At an exhibit pullout along the Pinto Basin Road in Joshua Tree National Park. The view is looking to the southwest across a varied open plain of desert plant-life with yucca plants, cactus and creosote bushes. Taking advantage of some high ground that I was located on, I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and create more of a sweeping view across this national park landscape. I also wanted to minimize what I felt was more of a negative space with the overcast skies.

The 1557 Northstar run out of Target Field has one minute to get to the Fridley station and still be on time. They pass by yet another pullout job waiting to shove into the departure yard.

Driving north from Rome, this view is the first glimpse I had of Pienza. Luckily there was a pullout that accommodated several cars (not always the case in Tuscany), as the majority of traffic wanted an opportunity to snap a photo of the view.

Sedona, Arizona has often been associated with spiritual energy and other benefits of the supernatural realm, that’s a bit above my capability to understand. What attracted me to Sedona was the desert landscape and the amazing sunsets that happens routinely here. So, when we decided to make a trip to Sedona, I wanted to cover the Cathedral Rock from as many viewpoints as possible.

 

Most of the viewpoint is located near the crescent moon ranch but the best photo from the trip came from a roadside pullout. We were late getting to a viewpoint and en-route I saw a good view of the Cathedral Rocks and I decided to opt for the roadside pullout rather than the planned viewpoint. The decision was driven by some of the best light that I have seen in a while. The foreground was a bit busy, but I believe the subject and the light more than made up for it.

 

Our third entry in the Alaska Revisited series has ARR 4003 leading a southbound coal train near Beluga Point, AK as the sun is rapidly racing to the horizon off to the west.

 

When the skies were clear like this, the Alaska Range stood prominent in the distant skyline, seen here merging with a tide-filled Turnagain Arm. This scene with the mountains, water, snow, and train scream "Alaska" to me. This photo was taken from a large pullout along the Seward Highway a little north of the actual Beluga Point pullout.

I saw the half moon rise above the granite towers at Yosemite Valley earlier this evening and decided to look for a good location for my shot. I finally arrived at the Bridalveil Fall View pullout area. I set up my tripod and composed this shot for a long exposure. I am glad I made it in time before the scene went too dark.

More details in the LARGE version!

 

I was shooting early on this morning in Pacific Grove, and since it was raining, I decided to open up the back of my car and shoot some long zoom shots with my 70-200mm lens from inside. I only fired off a few shots of the big surf before a police officer told me to leave the area and proceeded to gate off all the pullouts along Pacific Grove. I thought that seemed odd, and looked on my phone for some answers on the NOAA weather site. I learned about the 8.8 earthquake in Chile, and the possible Tsunami here on the Northcoast of California.

 

Fast forward to mid-day, where a friend and I waited here at Garrapata State Park to see if we could see any Tsunami action. We saw some pretty big waves, but it was hard to tell what might have been a Tsunami or not. It was also raining, so we made a quick hike and I realized that we were looking at a spot I'd become familiar with here on Flickr. I instantly recognized this area from the shots of Patrick Smith, Saurabh Deoras, Jim Patterson, and many other photographers I enjoy on Flickr. We decided to come back for the sunset to get some good light and a break in the storm.

 

When we returned for the sunset, the storm had left the coast and the ocean was much less intense. After attempting a few wide angle comps, I decided that the best shot would be a sea stack photo with some big wave action. These waves chased me up the cobble beach several times and really made me nervous! Even though the ocean was more calm than earlier (during Tsunami arrival time), they really looked and sounded HUGE when running back and forth on this particular beach. I got a good workout from this shoot -a side benefit of photography!

Young Bull Moose (Alces alces shirasi) high stepping it in deep snow. You can see the snow is over the knee of its left front leg. Image taken at the Round Prairie pullout in Lamar Valley. Moose seem to be coming back to Yellowstone. This is attributed to the introduction of wolves which thins other herd animals allowing moose food supply to grow back.

While at a roadside pullout along National Old Trails Road and US 66 with a view looking southwest to the ridges and peaks of the Southern Mojave Ranges. I wanted to capture what looked to be a wide angle view, even the focal length was more telephoto when I later looked at the image settings.

While taking in views at a roadside pullout along Olivas Ranch Road. The setting is looking to the east across the desert landscape present in this part of the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area. The more distant ridges and peaks are of the Inyo Mountains.

It's usually quite rare that a pullout on the side of the road would provide such a great vantage point for capturing a scene, but that isn't the case in Garden of the Gods. You just have to walk down the road about 100' and straddle the wall. This is a black and white rendition of a photo I took earlier.

While at a roadside pullout along the main park road in Joshua Tree National Park. The setting is looking to the north-northwest to some nearby Joshua Trees and other desert plant-life present in this part of the national park. In composing this image, I wanted to keep a balanced, leveled-on view with the horizon. Part of that was because of the blue skies and details present in the clouds, but also to have a balance between the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image with that of the blue skies and clouds in the upper portion.

Every time I drive the Nisqually-to-Paradise corridor, I stop at this pullout overlooking a portion of the Nisqually River. And every time, the scene looks slightly different, depending upon the time of day, season, or weather.

 

On this occasion - the second day of winter - it had snowed in the lower elevations, giving a lovely blanket of snow to create a glowing pastel landscape. The roiling dark clouds/mist were sort of the cherry on top.

The one-way Firehole Lake Drive takes you through the woods and back to a place where hidden geysers and thermal features that can't be seen from the road, are found. Several pullouts and parking areas along your drive make it easy for you to get out of the car and take your time admiring these natural wonders. This is also where Great Fountain Geyser is located. Great Fountain Geyser is the only geyser not in the Upper Geyser Basin that is predicted at the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center. Eruptions 100 ft. high shoot out from a pool of water in a magnificent display. The road continues on and squeezes between Firehole Lake and Hot Lake before taking you back into the woods where it eventually meets back up with the main road right across the street from the Fountain Paint Pot parking lot and boardwalk. Ample parking is available at Firehole and Hot Lakes with boardwalks leading you along the banks of the steaming water. RVs, buses and trailers are not permitted on this road due to narrow sections along the way. Pick up an Old Faithful Area Trail Guide at any visitor center so you can read about all the different features and stops around Firehole Lake Drive. [Source: www.youryellowstonevacation.com/index.php?p=region&re...] Yellowstone's Firehole Lake Drive is a 3-mile, one-way side road off the Grand Loop located between the Old Faithful exit and Madison Junction. It has many geysers and hot springs visible from the road. There is also a boardwalk around the Firehole Lake itself, leading you to small geysers and springs.

Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park]

In Joshua Tree National Park at a roadside pullout looking to the southeast and across a snowy landscape with Joshua Trees and other desert plant-life. This was another image captured where I liked the layering present with the foreground and it's snowy landscape leading up to the rock formations in the distance. I decided to minimize the overcast and overcast skies as I felt it really didn't add much to the image.

At a roadside pullout along California State Route 127 with a view looking to the northeast to Nopah Peak and Nopah Range. During that part of the drive as I headed north to Death Valley National Park, I kept seeing this mountain range and wanted to find a point where I could not only capture an image of the range but also include some Mojave Desert landscape to add to the setting. Around the Tecopa area, there was a wilderness area leading up to the mountains that had an eye-catching landscape. I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring out more of a sweeping view, leading up to those ridges and peaks with its varied colors in the layers or rock.

A zoomed in view of climbers coming down the cliff-face of El Capitan. The view is looking to the north-northwest from a roadside pullout along Northside Dr for viewing. By using a portrait orientation, I hoped to bring out more of a sense of grandeur and the immense size of this undertaking with El Capitan.

At a roadside pullout along U.S. Highway 163 with a view looking to the southwest to mesa formations off in the distance in Monument Valley. My thought on composing this was to use the road as a leading line into the image. I then worked to align myself to center the road as well as capturing a look down and then across for the setting. The PeakVisor app on my iPhone identified Rock Door Mesa.

A setting looking up and to the south while taking in views of nearby coastal redwoods at a roadside pullout along the Avenue of the Giants (California 254) in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. What I wanted to capture with this image was the look of the redwood trees seemingly rising into the skies above. Not being able to capture the full height of the trees, I focused on the upper portions with the tree crown and the skies above.

Now that the St. Anthony Blvd. bridge is open again at the south end of Northtown, it's fun to go back and visit the spot I spent so much time as a teenager. The SD9s are long gone, but still a good place to watch the modern Pullout SD40-2s make up the outbound trains.

 

Here BNSF 1808 shoves a cut towards the D tracks as the BNSF 1594 pulls out of the bowl. That 1594 sure is scuzzy, but I can't say I've seen a BN engine in quite sometime with the C&S lettering still somewhat legible above the number boards. That is a long CP intermodal transfer from Humboldt to Shoreham moving overhead.
