The colors are unique to this area (not too far from Moab). The rusty dark red shows up in the soil as well as the formations. When I first drove out to shoot the scene I expected colors similar to what I had photographed at other locations along the Colorado River. I don't feel like this is a particularly photogenic area but is sure is DIFFERENT.

IMPORTANT, please note ... whenever you visit a Pbase gallery for the first time, or if you have clicked on a size smaller than "original size" while visiting this or any other Pbase gallery, please be sure to click on "original" size, otherwise you will be presented with a low quality JPEG as versus the high quality JPEG (the size doesn't change, only the quality level of the JPEG compression); you only have to do this once, on the very first picture you look at.

Alternatively, on the very first picture you can add "/original" to the URL in the address bar and hit "refresh" or "go" as the case may be; again, you only have to do this once (on the very first picture). This "/original to the URL" approach is the sure-fire/no-mistake/best way to ensure you will see the highest quality JPEG presentation.

The Fisher Towers are close to the Colorado River but "very" different compared to everything else in the near vicinity. Anyway, I thought the change in landscape colors was very interesting and the formations worth photographing.
