We entered Bryce Canyon's valley bottom trail early, when the sun was still relatively low and when we knew the shadows would be still strong. Together, this made the already vivid colors of the snow and pillars even more vibrant; we were amazed and exclaimed, “Oh wow!” It was chilly here (at 9000 feet above sea-level in February) but I was so fascinated and focused on getting these amazing shots that I forgot just how cold my hands were! *See the other Bryce Canyon photos These pillars are called “hoodoos” and they can reach over 200 feet (60 m) height. They extend for more than 20 miles (30 km), from the north to the south end of Bryce Canyon National Park. I named this photograph “The Grace of Bryce” because these pillars (hoodoos) stand so stately but yet they appear so so graceful.
While visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico I went for a stroll though a neighborhood near the famous art district, Canyon Road. I happened upon this cozy little casita; with its small deck and brightly painted trim. As I took this shot, I I could envision its owner enjoying his/her coffee in the warmth of the morning sun. How quaint!
On a cold February day, we visited Bryce Canyon, in southern Utah. This was my first visit so you can imagine my “Awe”! We live in such an amazing world, with such beauty, but what I saw before me was truly breath taking. We were very lucky that it was a sunny day and also very lucky that bits of snow remained in the shaded areas (which added yet another color to the scene) . The vibrant colors of Bryce where very saturated when we were there; the result of the bounced lighting between these pillars. Albeit very cold (-5C) and windy along the canyon's edge, as we hiked down to the bottom it grew warmer and warmer, eventually we had to peel off our jackets. When we climbed back up to the canyon’s ridge, I happened upon this view; I knew it would make an awesome abstract!
