Last night on the Aquarius Plateau
Thick fog over the canyon country. It was a pretty surreal drive up Boulder Mountain. Those are the Henry Mountains peeking out of the clouds.

Terrific color palette. The "over the clouds" view is stunning.

Exquisite! Quite delightful to see. The open space above the mountains is especially effective.

Gosh, this is a beautiful and unique view of the Henrie's! Wonderful layers, too.

Must be quite a view from up there. Early 20th century Colorado Plateau guide Dave Rust (from Hanksville) used to bring his clients up that way for expansive views into the Escalante drainage and beyond, back when travel in the region was anything but easy.

Very nice Guy. I would love to see a tighter comp of this one if you have it. Those clouds are amazing.

Man! What an epic scene here Guy! As much as I love those layers in the clouds, I think a pano crop would also be an option with this. Thanks for sharing here, this is awesome :toast:

I too would like to see a tighter comp and a pano version. This is a very impressive image!

Amazing image and color! I've been wanting to get a shot like this since I moved out here but haven't had the chance yet :(
