    I love this image- the light is truly golden and since the warmest color area is at the top it feels like the “ceiling” has real 3D presence, like it might fall at any moment…

    Hi Gale,

    I visited this area in 1974 – one of the best times of my life … I am so moved by seeing these photos!!

    I look at your pictures and I’m just at awe and so one thought keeps running through my head, “I can’t believe this is real! This must be edited or photo shopped!”

    This is such a popular vantage point (and beautifully done by the way), I often wonder just how early you have to ‘wait in line’ to get a shot like this, or if there are many photographers there all jockeying for the same position.

    That is breathtaking. I love the top rock ceiling that also provides shade from the sun glare/ghosting. The orange light that rims the immediate cliff is also stunning. Great work, great timing!

    Wow! Great picture!
    It’s even better in person. I love southern Utah.
