Closed Canyon
These two are from Closed Canyon a narrow canyon in west Texas. It is almost Utah like there as the canyon is sometimes 15 wide and 200 ft deep.

See more info about it on my blog.

Here is another. I like how this place looks good in monochrome too.

Nice photos, as usual, Darren.
I also find it amazing that I have photos from Alaska that look very much like the ones you posted.
If you have time, go to

flickr.com/photos/syzygyphoto

then pick the Matthews River Icon on the right side and look for some of the canyon photos. One even has a pool like yours...

Thanks Fisch!

I have not been to the Matthews River area but I recall some of the areas I saw in Denali NP that really blew me away. Nothing that looked like Texas but walking the Savage River is like being dropped into the Pliesticene Era.

Awesome, Darren...I had no idea places like this existed in Texas. I'm checking out your blog!

Darren, you are correct, reminds me of Utah, keep it coming from Texas!
