Court of the Patriarchs after a snowstorm

A recent shot at Zion National Park a few days ago after a recent snowfall. It was my first time to Zion in the winter and is definitely recommended.

Wow - dramatic light, dramatic composition. The warm red rocks really offset the cooler sky / clouds / snow very nicely. On my monitor, it looks like the compression is killing the details in the rocks and trees. I'd love to see a big file of this!

Awesome scene! I definintely want to get back there for a snowstorm like this.

Did you have the opportunity to get a sunrise at the Towers of the Virgin. Under these conditions that would be a memorable sight.

You caught some beautiful conditions with the fresh snow and the diffused sunlight.

Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, couldn't make it for sunrise as it was a short trip from Vegas and back on the same day. It was mostly cloudy while I was there with little snippets of sky where the light could enter and hit some of the red rocks.

That is quite cool, Jetson--thanks for sharing!

I love the contrast of the snow with the red rock. This is really nice.

Nice. Snow in zion. Do you have more to show us?

I'll echo Paul's comment. Looks like some pretty unique conditions.

Awesome shot. It's great how you've got that splash of light on the orange rocks.

Great shot! Like the contrast between the rocks and the snow and clouds.

Well done! I really like the contrast, as others have mentioned.

Thanks for the comments all, Richie, I've got a couple more here:

Unfortunately, I can only post like one photo every couple of days.
