Sunset at Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah

Unread post by Almazar80 »

I've posted this picture elsewhere, but for people who have never seen Canyonlands (Island in the Sky), there is a state park that you pass before arriving at Canyonlands. Dead Horse Point State Park is smaller but no less beautiful. Here is an image taken as the sun was setting.

Image

Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Capitol Reef - and nearby Mesa Verde and Monument Valley. Places to visit again and again.

ADD:

The other side of the road

If you cross the road (literally), this is the view at sunset

Very beautiful picture ! wow. You giving me the need to return back there. This is an experience in your life to go there. It is difficult even with a marvelous picture like this to geet the feeling of seeing this surnatural size beauty. It is so big, that you can be in front a clif of more than half a km ... and you think it is just 100 feet ... because you miss the size reference.

Great work, love to see another from this series.

Hi Almazar80,

Beautiful shots. I may be wrong but the first scene may be the Horseshoe Canyon which I remember seeing in ne of Henry / Bakubo's earlier. This one is a very interesting shot with great colour palette also.

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz
