Soaring over Hovenweep National Monument. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
Double Rainbow in Utah. While driving between Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument and Bryce National Park on Utah Highway 12 I saw a rainbow in my rear view mirror. I quickly pulled over just outside of Cannonville Utah and started taking some images. I was lucky that there was a dark background in the sky so I could begin to see the double rainbow. Before the rainbow was gone, many other cars pulled over to admire the view.
While on the way to Arches National Park I stopped at Newspaper Rock National Historic Site. Over the years there has been some graffiti added, but the original Petroglyphs are still amazing. Images taken with a Nikon D200 camera and 18-70 mm kit lens. The original jpg images have been reprocessed with Topaz JPG to Raw and Capture One Pro.

I arrived in Moab a day early for a Photo Safari with Winston Hall. The parking lot at the motel where I was staying was filled with Vintage Chevrolet Club of America Classic Cars on tour across Utah and Arizona.

I returned to Crystal Geyser in the morning since I didn’t see it erupt the previous evening. The interesting thing about Crystal Geyser is that it is a cold geyser, powered by carbon dioxide. I did see a minor eruption, then hit the road for Great Basin National Park in Utah. For a bigger eruption check out 11-May-2009.
