More from Southern Utah, USA

Unread post by John David Cubit »

There are many small canyons in southern Utah that streams have cut through the red sandstone. By wedging their roots into rock fractures, cottonwood trees have colonized the riparian habitat, withstanding even the roaring flash floods that sweep massive debris flows through these narrow slot canyons.

This was my first trip to Utah, timed to catch the fall colors of cottonwoods against the red sandstone. These shots were taken in remote locations, away from the big National Parks. The soft warm light is reflected from the canyon walls.

Nice shots John. The trees do look unlikely colonisers amongst the rocks and their yellow foliage makes a great contrast to the orange rocks.
