Glen Canyon Recreation Area
Continuing my trip to Utah, we ran into Page, Arizona for sunrise to go to a nice area in the Glen Canyon Recreation Area. It was a very cool area of sandstone and went all the way down to Lake Powell. Sunrise didn’t amount to much but Varina Patel showed us these interesting circles in the sandstone and they made for some cool intimate shots. I also found some areas of sand nestled in the rocks and this allowed for plants to take hold and also provide cover for many animals. There were tracks everywhere. Here are some of my favorites from this morning.

Beautiful shots Paul. What type of lens do you use?

Thanks Terry, my wide angle is the Canon 16-35 f2.8 II, and for the macros I use a Tamron 180 f3.5 macro. I also have a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 that gets a lot of use, just not in this set here.

Really Nice images. The one named Orbit is very aptly named. Cheers!
