Court of the Patriarchs, Zion National Park, Utah.

This was last night under the full moon. Man it was bright! We were even making shadows.

This was a 30 second exposure, I was surprised by how much color and detail the digital camera was able to capture. Fun night of photography after a great hike to Angel’s Landing, but more on that tomorrow.

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

I was really fortunate to find this patch of Sacred Datura wildflowers right before sunset. I wish I had a little more time to work this location, the sun was setting fast- I’m tempted to return to this spot.

Here are more Valley of Fire State Park photos.

I think this provides a pretty good preview of what the landscape is like in this beautiful state park.

Man, Valley of Fire State Park is awesome! Endless geographical colors and patterns, the photo opportunities are everywhere. Despite numerous recommendations, I had never visited this state park – I won’t make that mistake again, heck it is only an hour from Las Vegas.
