This is one of those special evenings at Capitol Reef Nat'l Park when the night sky was truly displaying its glory. I certainly have to use a bit artistic processing to create a scene that is visually appealing, but it certainly captures the essence of what I experienced this particular evening. This monolith is called Temple of the Sun and I suspect one reason for its name it the blazing color it displays at sunset and sunrise.
To get a better visual experience, this image is best viewed in a dimmer environment. Adjust your eyes a minute and enjoy the Utah desert.

This is extraordinary! I’m assuming it was taken in summer?
This shot was taken in late May. Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
