Coyote Buttes South

Well I forgot I had one last area of the trip to add. This was by far my favorite area and also the most remote. We had a near 2 hr drive down a rough dirt/sand and rock road to get out here. It had some amazing formations and I suggest you google it for the wider views. I wish I had taken some just as snap shots but the light was harsh, as we had a clear sky all day. Because of this, I focused on shooting in the shade. The also limited me to more intimate shots but I was happy with them, as the glades isn’t as nice up close as this place. The patterns and colors found everywhere were unreal. Here are the favorites so far, I still have some to process and perfect.

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.
