We're not in Pennsylvania anymore

Beautiful image and a beautiful trip too, as it seems!

I am headed out next month. Big road trip Clacier national park. Mesa Verde and Monument Valley, then Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon over too Death valley then back home.

Beautiful, DWT. 'Seems like you hung on to some rough highlights & made the midtones shine. 'Very hansome & masterfully done.

Beautiful Dave, one of my favorite places on Earth.

Terrific photo and even better that it was taken on your Yashica Mat 124G. It sure encourages me to take mine out again after years of neglect.

Nice! All i ever usually see of these scenes is in color, which it glorious, but this bw seems so much more suited to the light and shadows design that would have been lost in any other photograph. Love the layering and dimensional of those clouds, too. What a trip you had!

Thanks guys for all the comments. This was indeed a spectacular trek -- 25 days on the road, 5800+ miles -- a few days were spent with a couple we're friends with here at home who have his family home in Fredonia AZ. He began his career with the NPS as a ranger at the Grand Canyon north rim, so we had a fantastic tour guide. As alluded to above, I can see there were a lot of possibilities I may have let escape. We saw a lot of stuff on the way out and back, but mayhaps before I get too decrepit I can fly out there and spend more time at fewer places. The southern Utah, northern Arizona landscape is (at least to this east coast native) full of incredible views everywhere one looks. I'll confess to MichaelOrr that a shot of that same scene with electrocuted bits is probably one of the most spectacular from this trip with that technology. I have so many images it may be the end of the year before I whittle them down to a presentation/web gallery display. Many of those views have unusual (to me at least) colors -- oranges, reds, pinks, etc, sometimes layered -- fascinating geology.

Dave, if you do get a chance to return, take a light yellow-green filter, it will really make the red rock pop. It truly is a mystical area.
