February was productive for me - at least compared to some years... Presidents' Day saw me out and about in Utah. I already posted the Bryce By Starlight image, but I put together a few more from the trip to share.
My one goal of the trip was to scout out Pectol's Pyramid in Capitol Reef NP, so there are a few pictures - including this one - of that distinctive Navajo Sandstone landmark. Lighting on the Pyramid is challenging at this time of year; the shadows on the Pyramid itself become harsh well before sundown, so you have to take your best shot while the Sun is still a bit up in the sky.
The full gallery is up for preview. Thanks for looking, rating, and any comments you might have.
Great selection of images on your site Les. I think the star one is my favourite, then these ones with the weathered boulders!. I really like all mthe textures and shapes in this posted image, looks like you had a great trip!.

This would be a great candidate for B&W with all those harsh contrasts and bright light. The composition is working well for me.
Nice comp Les! I agree with Marc; this is definitely a B&W candidate! The textures and shadows really work for me. Just be sure and hold those wispy clouds. NIce collection too!
