Wilderness Cityscape
Fremiet

Best Viewed in "Original"

Here we have a twilight shot of The Needles in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Stuff happens there at twilight which is hard to explain, but easier to simply photograph. Noteworthy is the evening migration of Newspaper Rock from about 12 miles east of here for a twilight siesta(?). That's the rock with the petroglyphs lower left. Upper center (somewhat to the right) is a light cascade from Antelope Canyon, Utah a hundred or so miles away, simply another mystical event I am at a loss to explain. Neesless to say some lights were out and are therefore tough to spot, but enough were on to make the sight quite enchanting. F

I don't think I noticed the newspaper rock in this shot before. Nice!

Very cool, very fun! Did the hobbits ever make it from Middle Earth to the canyons? It looks like they might have.

Ann: That is such a kind comment and coming from an artist such as you a real compliment. I looked through your galleries a few days ago and was sooo impressed with your paintings as well as your photography. I know I stick my neck out with my work, but it's a relentless quest to find my natural style beyond the whimsical. There are plenty of truly accomplished photographers/artists for me to be inspired by....so I hope as time goes by my work gets better and better. Thanks again and stay in that creative groove!!
