Driving around Northern Arizona looking for White Pocket I became more than a bit lost. I found a number of abandoned ranches from decades ago and spent the night beneath this windmill.
Looking as though it was constructed last year this granary sits untouched as it has for hundreds of years.
Typically shot at sunrise Turret Arch also proves to be a remarkable place to catch a sunset.
Located in an area that is still hard to get to and particularly arid it\'s hard to imagine farming, hunting, and living here a thousand years ago.
The Court House Towers in Arches NP are amazing at any time of the year but spring is just outstanding.
Deep in the southern Utah desert lie countless ruins from multiple cultures. This is but one reminder of their past.
Balanced Rock silhouetted against a storm that clears on the horizon.
Amazing ruin and granaries in Mule Canyon.
Undoubtedly one of the better places to watch the dawn's light paint its magic on the sandstone walls of Zion.
Detail shot of one of the numerous white hoodoos in the area. This one was catching a subtle glow from an adjacent hillside.
One of three coves in this area that has these unique sandstone towers.
Detail of three hoodoos that have eroded over the centuries from the canyon rim some 50 feet higher.
This silhouette was so dramatic to me. The towers and buttes of the Valley are all amazing even in the light before dawn. Simply an amazing place in any light.
Sunset light falls across the Mittens in Monument Valley accentuating the red of the rock.
A view from the valley floor looking north with clouds that couldn't have been better just after sunrise provided this gorgeous view.
Just after sunrise. The East Mitten lit up in wonderful morning light.
A very unique feature in the early morning, partly cloudy light I was lucky enough to get. The clouds raking across the towers and foreground provided great contrast and beautiful skies.
Overlooking the valley the side light caught the yellow of these Cottonwood trees.
On a hike up to Emerald Pools in Zion, I was really taken with the color offered up by the water streaks, rock and foliage.

The area of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona holds so much beauty. Given a lifetime I'm sure one would only see a fraction of it all.
