We are slowing working our way through converting and adjusting images from our last trip.  Here is a photo of Lake Powell from our aerial day – we covered a lot of ground that day!

Before we left Moab, we had to bike the world famous Slickrock Bike Trail.  All I can say is, wow!  It really is a lot of fun – riding on solid rock like that is a treat.  The views are amazing.  You can look across the Colorado River into Arch National Park.  Other viewpoints give you views of the town of Moab, the La Sal Mountains, and, well really, you can see 360 degrees in all directions.Read More

Here is another new image captured right from our front porch late last week – sometimes it feels like cheating!

I love how only this one peak from the entire range emerged from the clouds, and if that wasn’t enough, it then became briefly illuminated with wonderful pink alpenglow.  We get some of our best light this time of year – I look forward to more!

Now that I’m in the office and have a computer that can work with multiple large raw files, I can start to putting together some of the more involved images.  This is a combination of 7 different exposures.

Here are more Canyonlands National Park photos.

We got a call last night from blog reader and salmon charter extraordinaire, Captain Kid.  He said, “take a look out the window and check out the moon”.  I looked, no moon.  Perfect I thought, this gave me a couple of minutes to get everything ready and to get in to place.  Thanks Captain!

We had some great stormy weather during the first days of our trip to Moab.  I would love to be there someday for a snowstorm!

In this aerial view of The Maze, I think it is easy to see why Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were so successful hiding out here.  To this day, this inhospitable region is still considered to be one of the most remote areas in the Lower 48. 

You see back in the days Butch Cassidy and the Hole in the Wall Gang hide out here, bank robbers ran from the U.S. Government.  Today, well…
