I was fortunate to conduct three photography tours in autumn, 2006, first to the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, then to Yosemite in late October, and now to Zion and Bryce National Parks. This lasat trip had a magical quality for me. Beauty was everywhere, beauty at the boundary of belief. In truth, I was still on a powerful psychological high from events that took place on the prior trips, which included photographing some wonderful scenery, travling with some terrific photographers and connecting with a good friend. As it was in places like the ghost town at Bodie, and in Yosemite, several pictures in this gallery seemed to come from somewhere beyond me, beyond my skill and experience as a photographer. Other photographs were sparked by suggestions by trip participants.

Road Shot

Our group took a side tour, from Bryce Canyon north, along a seldom used road, to the little community of Antimony. The scenery, including the sky, were unexpectedly beautiful. I made this photograph by pointing my camera out the front window of our van, and I think it's one of my favorite images from the trip.

Is that Butch or the Sundance Kid?

The classic Western, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (with Paul Newman and Robert Redford), was partially filmed in Grafton.

Frozen Grass, Grafton, Utah

When our photography group first arrived at the ghost town of Grafton, a few miles from Zion National Park, I was a bit disappointed. Subjects seem lacking - just a couple of old building that didn't even look that old.

Splattered Window Dirt, Grafton, Utah

I do windows! No, I don't clean them, I like to photograph them, even dirty ones. I made this photograph with the help of a reversed 50mm lens - turning it around turned it into a macro lens.

Carved Indian at the Mt. Carmel Junction, Utah

To our group of photographers, this American Indian looked a bit sad. We thought perhaps he was being exploited, at least a little bit, in the name of Commercialism. On the other hand, he was part of the fun of being a tourist along the backroads of Utah.

After saying goodbye the carved Indians, we headed to Bryce Canyon.
