Zion series 4 images
Last fall, along with the rest of RMNP, I took a trip to Zion for the color. I ended up right between the cottonwoods and the maples, so finding good color was a bit of a challenge, but it was definitely available if you searched for it.

I've got a couple series to share.

I think everyone knows where this was shot.

I really like #3, alot of colour in that one, but the entire series is very nice!.

Porter came to mind for me too. Nice series, Mel. #3 really appeals to me. I love the glow on the rocks in that one.

What a great variety of shots and all of them winners. Outstanding stuff.

Nice set, Mel. Even at "non-optimum" times, Zion is hard to beat.

Zion should be designated as the official Fall pilgrimage site for RMNP. :biggrin:

Wonderful set, Mel. The first one really stands out for me. Love the design there.

Great results! With a collection like this, I've got a feeling you're going to be revisiting Zion again next fall. It's hard to get enough of a good thing.
