This was actually taken during a family trip with some relatives out west. None of us had been to Arches or Canyonlands and had been planning to visit for years, we were so excited to finally go. Well as luck would have it my 8 year old cousin got all of us sick! The 5 of us all caught some form of a cold and didn't get much hiking in while we were there. Thankfully this little spot is right next to a convenient parking lot that I couldn't help but stop at on our way out of the park after watching sunset.

This was taken during blue hour and I was quite lucky with the position of the moon. Many times something like this needs to be planned but in this case it was just luck, or maybe karma paying back a little after being sick!

Wow, what a great capture !
I love how the bold features of the cliff face, dominate the landscape, yet allow for other delicate details in the scene to compliment the image as a whole.
Well seen and captured.
- Thanks for giving background stories to go along with your imagery, it adds interest to the photo and enriches the viewing experience; I wish more photographers would do the same on their VB pages.
Thanks for sharing !

Well if I am being honest some of these stories are copied from my instagram haha. That said, it doesn't make it any less true, just saves me a little time. Thanks again for the kind words!
