Warm Light in the West by jeffclow

I was standing at this spot in the Professor Valley of Utah alone one late afternoon day and the moment seemed frozen in time.

No evidence of man in front of me and just a deeply hidden memory in my brain of all the times I watched westerns as a kid and thought of places like this as “the old west”.

I kept listening for the sounds of a cavalry bugle to echo across the landscape…

On the Edge by DanMontalbano

Grand Canyon, North Rim. Inspired by a recent moody South Rim shot on 500px by Peter James. Frankly, one of the reasons this site is so great – I’ve had this image for a while and was never really happy with previous edits. All it took was a little inspiration from a fellow 500px’er and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

Horseshoe Outcrop by DanMontalbano

Another from my series at the aptly named Horseshoe Bend, from a slightly different angle. I like how the outcrop on the left pulls your eye into the image.

Green River Overlook, Canyonlands National Park, Utah.

I love a good view that makes you feel inconsequential 🙂

Wild West by DanMontalbano

Straight road, big buttes. Welcome to Monument Valley. This view is what I think of whenever someone refers to the “American West”. I half expected Wile E. Coyote to come sprinting down the road.
