Utah - Compilation
Southern Utah is one of my favorite places to explore; there is always something new to check out, and the vast beauty of the canyons draws me back again and again. And the beer at the Moab Brewery - excellent every time!
This gallery is a work in progress and will contain a variety of images from multiple adventures into the canyons, spanning several years and all seasons.

Delicate Arch - from the bowl below; no moon, clear balmy night, Lyrid meteor shower
Delicate Arch. Lit with LED beams, long exposure. Sweet!
From the bowl below Delicate Arch. No moon, balmy night, Lyrid meteor shower, and a number of satellites! Oh, and much laughter! Remember to ask NR Bob about the mouse in his pants . . .
From the bowl below Delicate Arch, looking west. Beautiful evening - loved those meteors!
Sunrise in the Windows area, Arches. Severely clear - the landscape photographers' nemesis.
Just before dawn, Windows area primitive trail, Arches.
Glorious warm light. Windows area, Arches, from the primitive trail. Too bad it was severely clear. . .
Left the house at just after 2 am in search of the Milky Way. Success!!! We learned much, laughed lots, and we all have some fabulous images. Taken at Deadhorse Point State Park; balmiest night I've ever spent in the desert - shirtsleeves until the sun came up and brought the breezes.

I so loved the Milky Way shoot at Deadhorse Point State Park, it had to be repeated. Only we got to sleep in - didn't leave the house until 3:30. Yes, that's a.m. This image is taken during astronomical dawn (~ 1.5 hours before sunrise). Amazing indeed.
