Like everyone else, I ran down to Arizona and Utah at the end of last month. It was the week when the weather was terrible here in CO and not all that great down there either, but it was still so much fun to be out. I managed to take a few photos during this trip. As always I'd enjoy hearing your comments and suggestions on the images in the link below.

Lots of good stuff there Eric. I especially like the shots from Zion.

Really nice collection Erik. Really liking the "Lines and Sand" one. Not sure I like the vignetting of the night shot above. It does seem to bring out the rock formation better, but to me it just looks strange.

I completely agree Brian. It doesn't look this way in LR but on export something is happening. This was just a grab shot while driving by Monument Valley at night. There's a fence in it, footprints, I had to clone out some garbage and the noise is out of this world. I posted it mostly just because I still kind of like the stars.

A wonderful set of images, Erik.
It appears we visited many of the same places within a few days of each other.

Really nice collection of images, Erik. I really enjoyed the abstracts.

A fine collection, indeed!
I also enjoyed the abstracts from Wahweap Wash and up above the Wave, incl. Melody Arch.

Excellent work, Erik. I really liked your abstracts. The cracked mud and the light sandstones the best.

Wonderful stuff, Erik! What time of day was the Subway shot at? - looks like about noonish!

Really compelling collection, Erik. I'm sure the iconic shots will look great hanging in the gallery (do you display non-RMNP images in the gallery?). I really like the creativity of Wilson Sunstar and the colors of Upper Hive. Always enjoyable to see what you see.

Very nice collection. Looks like a very fruitful trip!

Great work Erik. I really enjoyed the close-up abstracts and Upper Hive. Thanks for sharing!
