You have probably seen this barn in a bazillion images already.

THis was my first visit out to Capitol Reef National Park. Ended up around sunset at the barn.

This is what I caught that night Shot in November 2003...

Very nice photo. I was there a couple weeks ago and the road right behind the barn is in need of repair so they had orange traffic cones all over. Pretty much ruined any chance of getting a good shot. And since I always get corrected when I spell it wrong I just have to say that it is Capitol, not Capital. Look forward to seeing more images from you in the future.

Never been there, so I'm not sure if it's just the scene, but sense a slight tilt towards right in the image. But otherwise awesome shot!

Great light on the cliffs. I hope you spent some time on the trails too. Capitol Reef is hard to appreciate from the road.

I did not have much time that day to wander around the area on foot.. I got there in the afternoon and only had a few hours of decent light before the clouds rolled in and made for a dull sunset.. the next day it rained and snowed in the area but I was leaving...

I made it to CR for the first time this past weekend and I must say that it is an amazing place. Unfortunately I got there a day late for Guy's show.

Eric, I love the light but would like to see a little more detail in the FG. I also see the CW tilt. Minor nits for a lovely image.
