I was very careful stepping on some rocks to get to this pristine section of the desert. The soil there is alive, and takes many years to get to this state ... so not stepping on it is quite important. I really liked this pristine view of the earth there leading into the wall of the Reef there in Utah.
This view was via one of the back dirt roads there in the park.
GUYS this place is AMAZING <3 check it out if you guys like coral reefs and underwhater photography !! <3 AND the owners are super nice ^^

Wikipedia: The Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra), also known as the eastern reef heron or eastern reef egret, is a species of heron found throughout southern Asia and Oceania. In Australia, Pacific reef herons inhabits most of the coastline, and offshore islands including the Torres Strait Islands. Pacific reef herons are widespread across Micronesia, with breeding records in Guam, the Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, among various other islands. The species also breeds throughout western Polynesia, including in Fiji, French Polynesia, and Tonga – though it does not breed in Niue.
It occurs in two color morphs with either slaty grey or pure white plumage. The sexes are similar in appearance.
Conservation status: Least Concern
This point near Bell Buoy Beach in northern Tasmania marks the beginning of a rocky reef. As the name suggests it extends out to sea and along the coast for two miles. It is one of the reasons the Low Head Lighthouse was built to warn shipping.
The Caineville Reef is immediately east of the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The repeated forms are Mancos Shale, which few plant species can invade.
This gateway leads into the Capitol Gorge area of Capitol Reef National Park.
As we viewed sheer cliffs in many places on this trip, like the cliff on the left, we wondered what massive force(s) would make an almost perfectly flat slab of vertical rock loosen itself and fall. Just one of the many things that come to mind when beholding such natural marvels.
The term reef in this context had puzzled me because I normally thought of a reef in an aquatic setting. Wikipedia, however, comes to the rescue. In a dry land setting, “… reef refers to any rocky barrier to land travel, just as ocean reefs are barriers to sea travel.”

Was lucky that this fellow flew in for a few minutes whilst at Long Reef. Not as sharp as one would like as it was just after sunrise.
My brother took this with his underwater film camera :]
I think it's just a really cool picture, considering that most of the other ones aren't so great.
I just think it's cool how it came from film :], kodak 800ISO actually. haha ya im a loser.
but seriously for such a shitty dinky camera, i like how this came out.
Along the scenic drive in the Capitol Reef National Park, don't pass up the stop at the Slick Rock Divide. One gets great views along the winding once-underwater reef in this now high desert, ambling over this terrain as you wish. This is from Spring, 2023.

If you like this one you're invited to view the Sunset/Sunrise set
Sunrise at Long Reef marine reserve this morning.

There's a point on the scenic drive of Capitol Reef National Park where if you turn back you can see an incredible landscape. Exactly this point!
Spent a couple of nights down in deepest darkest Cornwall at the end of last week and based close to Godrevy, this pic taken early one morning just after Sunrise on a dull day before the rain hit, not what I was hoping for but you have to make the most of the hand your dealt! ;)
Looking out towards Godrevy Lighthouse and the Stones Reef to which the Lighthouse was built to warn shipping of the impending danger hidden beneath the waves.

One of the most scenic roads in the U.S., Route 12 in Utah, takes you to this spot. Capitol Reef National Park, with its many features, fills the frame.
