The Tempest
Clouds and windblown snow stream over Junction Butte in Canyonlands National Park as a winter storm blows through southern Utah. This view is from Murphy Bench on the White Rim road near the designated camp sites. The edges of the ridges and buttes facing southward (windward, to the right) are clear of snow due to the high winds. On the far left side of the frame a bit of Grand View Point on Island in the Sky is visible. A section of the White Rim road snakes across the plateau in the center on the right side, cutting toward its namesake (shaded band of rock) and a precarious section right at the edge of the undercut rock.
