Canyon Lands
Uploaded: August 06, 2010
Creative title, huh? You can see why, when the origianl namers were thinking of a name for this magical place, it was simply named Canyonlands. Here is an evening shot from the top of the Island In The Sky section of Canyonlands NP. No one takes the threat of rain seriously in this part of the country, except as a photo op.

Marty- This gorgeous picture just had to be added to my favorites. What incredible camera work you do. The compositon, the gorgeous play of light and shadow, the beautiful depth, the different layers of the rocks and the formations they make, that river running through to canyon, that amazingly gorgeous sky, all make for one award winning work of beauty. Phenominal work my friend. I am going to enjoy this image so many times.Ellen Hodges August 08, 2010

Thank you so much everyone. Your comments are with me in every photo. #8815462Val Feldman August 10, 2010
Oh, Marty...I don't even know where to begin. Breathtaking... but that doesn't even begin to cover it...a grandeur that is almost beyond comprehension...it's hard to take this scene in without a thousand different scattered wonderful thoughts crossing your mind. Remarkable, outstanding work. If you set out and hoped to make the perfect capture that leaves one speechless from it's very impact, you've done just that beautifully. Fav'd. #8818495Marty Straub August 11, 2010
