Watchman and Virgin River

The weather did not cooperate for my shot of the Watchman at Zion National Park so I shot in HDR once again. I might not have the sunset shot everyone strives for but I really like how this turned out!

Lower Pine Creek Falls

Lower Pine Creek Falls in Zion National Park. Another challenging (got wet) but extremely worthwhile hike. No sun so I shot in HDR which worked really well to brighten everything up. Please overlook the over-sharpening. (Note Chris at top right).

A break in the rain presents a photo opportunity.

Entering Zion

It’s still raining. A challenge but I’m up for it 🙂

Basque Arborglyphs

Arborglyhps were a form of communication between Basque Sheepherders as they blazed their way West. Although I can’t be sure this is actually one of their marks, many are quite detailed.

Basque Sheepherders

There are areas long Last Dollar Road where the Aspen trees are full of really interesting markings. The markings, known as Arborglyphs, were left by Basque Sheepherders who used the trees to communicate with other sheepherders as they were traveling through the West. Most markings have scarred over so you can’t make out the design but if you’re lucky, you can find some that are quite ornate.

Infrared Aspens

I shot some Infrared in Colorado too. Here’s one of my favorites.
