Taken in the Taylor Canyon region of Canyonlands National Park, this image shows an impressive mesa system that spans for miles in all directions. I followed an arroyo for several hours on this late afternoon, weaving in and out of the landscape and into new scenes of beauty, one after the other - it’s easy to see why people get lost. Growing up in a rural area gave me a strong sense of preparedness when venturing into the wilds, but the danger it presents is tempered by the exquisite forms that occur there, timeless and undaunted.

I admire his work a great deal and have definitely been influenced by the Zone System that he and Fred Archer developed together.

    Gorgeous image, lovely toning. I love the cloud hanging over in the sky like that. Beautiful.

    Stumbled!

    Thanks for your support and the Stumble, Donncha! It was an exquisite day, this scene was one of many that kept my eye and camera busy - but my mind at peace. Can’t beat a beautiful day in the desert…
