Explored 9 May 2008, at # 33. A dramatic scene from the Island In The Sky section of Canyonlands National Park, Utah. The "Island" sits about 6,000 feet above sea level. The white rim is a 1,000 feet lower. The gorge and canyons were carved by the Green River at right center. I felt like this made a dramatic scene in both color and black and white. Taken with a Nikon D300, 7 May 2008.

I just noticed your comment at Steve-H's feather shot and I had thought the same thing. I had to come see your Utah shots and I'm not disappointed!
This is a unique shot of this area. The perfunctory 'bend' shot is what one normally sees. I really like this!

So beautiful, lovely shot. The Canyons were carved by the flood of Noah's time though, not by the Green River.
