Early Afternoon In The Valley Of The Gods, Utah

Early afternoon images with cloudless skies are not my idea of ideal conditions for photography. Even so it is really a beautiful location and very deserted. I think this location could have some great early morning or late evening possibilities. Since we were on the move we could not stay for the evening light. Maybe an excuse to return in the future.

Definitely a reason to go back. However this is spectacular with the light on the golden leaves and gorgeous background. V

It looks so different from this perspective that I missed when I was there. Superb capture of all the great terrain highlighted by that beautiful yellow foreground foliage. ~BV~

Wonderful details front to back. The color of the shrub in the foreground is the perfect counterpoint to the interesting rock formation in the distance. V

Nice up front color and a impressive rock formation amazing what nature can accomplish if we give her enough time. Nice clear sky and complimenting evening light and lovely resolution for viewing. Reminds me of Mexican Hat boulder near the Dugie bypass. Vote+
