Photo Adventure - Layers

We are photographing in many of the iconic locations in the Moab region during our class this week. One is the Washer Woman formation in Canyonlands National Park. It is often photographed through the frame of Mesa Arch.

We visited the Mesa Arch overlook on our second morning. As can happen with very famous park locations it became very crowded with visitors, even at 5:30 AM !

The weather has been cool and hazy in this part of the desert. It is snowing today up towards Sale Lake City. All of our mornings have had clouds which have made for challenging and exciting lighting.

I shot this image especially to emphasize the 'layers' of the ridges, buttes, towers, etc. out from the edge of the mesa.
