Marty- Beautiful, breath taking sight. Places like this where one can point the camera in just about any direction and get beautiful sights like this are what heaven must be like. Your picture shows off the beauty of our national parks and the importance of making sure they are preserved. What gorgeous colors,the earth colors against the blue and white of that incredible sky, love the composition and depth, the lighting and clairity exceptional. A work of beauty from you and Mother Nature.
Have a great day and enjoy. #8740104

Superb...I'm so struck by the sheer expansiveness and depth of this magnificently rugged country....and what a spectacular view of a glorious cloud-filled desert sky to top off and add an even more expansive quality to this image. It all seems so huge...so impossible to take in at one moment in time, no matter how long you stood at the edge and pondered it's beauty. That would mean another (and another) trip back, Marty - for more and more...and bet you can never be completely satiated, either...! #8740247
