Had to throw in some more Bryce shots. At sunset the rock formations get ghostly.
Gnarly old bristlecone skeletons near Yovimpa Point, in the southern end of the park. This section is little visited, and very quiet. On a day with glowering skies and nobody around, it's magical...and spiritual.
Took this shot as I hiked down into the canyon on a gray, drizzly day. Such days are prized by photographers...bright sunshine washes out the colors.
Hiking up Wall Street. Is this an exotic trail or what? I did this in the '80s...1988 I believe...but I didn't remember how amazing it was. The folks on the trail are hiking up switchbacks carved into the bare rock. Steep trail, but worth every step...and the steep part is rather short. Blow up the pic for the best effect.
Annother type of weather that is good for photographers at Bryce is convection. Thunderstorms produce odd and ominous clouds, and all sorts of neat light. Sometimes you just sit on a rock, look out, and stare in awe and amazement. Splendid!
