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.


American Indian and Friend

We stopped for gas and to make some photographs of the carved American Indians, who stood in front of a little gift shop in the community of Mt. Carmel.

Frozen Sand Dune and Arch

The arch in the background isn't easily visible from the road. Luckily we stopped to photograph what was in the foreground: cross-bedded sand dunes.

Along the Highway

We had to wait for about 15 minutes for some road construction along the highway, as it left Zion Canyon and headed toward the higher country. Since we had the time, I got out of the car to make a few photographs along the side of the road. I found beautiful images almost everywhere I looked, from views out over massive sandstone cliffs, to the flowers at my feet.

Colors in the Virgin River

Water on the surface of the Virgin River reflects the sunlit color of the surrounding sandstone walls, while the little cascade, in the shade, reflects the blue color of the sky.

At the Entrance to the Narrows

It's possible to walk along a trail beyond the end of the road in Zion Canyon. Soon enough, the trail ends, and those that wish to continue must walk between the increasingly narrow walls of the canyon, known in its upper reaches as The Narrows.
