Mesa Arch by bruno-birkhofer

One shot found in my archive of 2012.
As idyllic this may look, I still remember how much we had to fight to gather a good spot when the sun came up. The best Pictures make Photographers with the strongest Elbows, because there are so many People trying to catch a Picture at the perfect Moment..

Another photo from the Canyonlands National Park in Utah. An incredible scene watching the skies open up into streams of rain and streaks of light miles away,

Just a Peek by BryanSwan

Peekaboo Canyon was actually a little bit anti-climatic for me. It was the first of the three slot canyons I visited in the Escalante area, but the light was absolutely horrible at the time I got there, so it was put on the back burner in favor of nearby Spooky Gulch instead. On the way out, we swung back to Peekaboo via the upper entrance to avoid the “oh, guess what, you’re out of shape” scramble up from the bottom of the canyon, and by then the direct light had shifted to a subtle, cool glow from the rim of the canyon that ended up casting some rather unique color on certain shaded portions of the bedrock. I’m still not entirely convinced I didn’t just underexpose too much, but I’m pretty pleased with the result, even if it did end up a little too exaggerated.

The Endless Road by DaniloFaria

White Rim Road in a very foggy/snowy weekend, at Canyonlands National Park. Thick layers of inversion hanged by the canyon for almost a week. I had planned star shots and did not even see the sun for 4 straight days, but sometimes you can’t always get what you want… but I am still very pleased to be there and witness such a marvelous place. 3 image panorama.
Thank you all for your support and feedback!

In Search Of Ancient Spirits by YegorMalinovskii

Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
“When the blood in your veins returns to the sea, and the earth in your bones returns to the ground, perhaps then you will remember that this land does not belong to you.
It is you who belongs to this land.”
