Weekend into the Great Basin
Me and the wife went to Great Basin NP this weekend and it was great to hike in a hail storm, camp out, and eat burnt franks and marshmellow torches. Didn't shoot very many images because of the weather, but I did manage to snag couple this morning after the stormy skies semi-cleared overnight.

Here's a view into Utah's west desert and Notch Peak. A rarely photgraphed and beautiful landscape. Remote, harsh, and unforgiving.

Wow! I'm really digging #2...I love the rays coming out of the clouds. Very nice! :toast:

yes, me as well - number 2, it feels so expansive and the layers on the ground and god-beams are just so nice! :toast:

I really like both of these Jeff. Love the color on Wheeler and the rays on the Notch Peak shot are great. Looks like you had a good visit of places that are not very frequently photographed.

Nice shots, Jeff. Those crepuscular rays are amazing.

Great shots, very moody. Love the light on Wheeler!

Both shots are really awesome. That peak reminds me of the Diamond on Longs Peak.

Jeff - do I sense you guys had a good time in Great Basin NP? :biggrin:

At least you came away with a couple of killer images! Nice job. :toast:

Really love the light and color in the second image!

The first photo is great. I don't like the unusual color cast in the second one. Otherwise, it has a great comp and light. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Very nice images. I like #2 the best

Both are nice images Jeff. Great colors. The lone ray touching the bottom center in #2 is a nice touch.
