Standing Sentinel

This tree seems to be trying to protect unwary persons from falling over the edge of this cliff. If you can zoom in enough you can see many of the features of Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah. I really liked the clouds and contrails in the sky. LYLE

View thru Mesa Arch

A couple of friends and I go on a photo safari every fall, this year we chose Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah. This arch is located there and is quite famous. It is actually quite a small one at only about 25 feet wide but due to the view through it it is very photographed. We were there about 2:00 in the afternoon so the light was not the best but it was all I had to work with. This is a 5 shot HDR with my 18-105 lens at 18mm without any filter. Shutter speeds were from 1/200 to 1/13 sec. ISO 100 and f16. LYLE
