[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bryce Canyon National Park (pronounced /ˈbraɪs/) is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. Contained within the park is Bryce Canyon. Despite its name, this is not actually a canyon, but rather a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to its geological structures, called hoodoos, formed from wind, water, and ice erosion of the river and lakebed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views to visitors.
Bryce is at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2400 to 2700 m), whereas the south rim of the Grand Canyon sits at 7,000 feet (2100 m) above sea level. The area therefore has a very different ecology and climate, and thus offers a contrast for visitors to the region (who often visit all three parks in a single vacation).
The canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1875. The area around Bryce Canyon became a U.S. National Monument in 1924 and was designated as a national park in 1928. The park covers 56 mi˛ (145 km˛). The park receives relatively few visitors compared to Zion Canyon and the Grand Canyon, largely due to its remote location. The town of Kanab, Utah is situated at a central point between these three parks.

Hi,
Great shot.
Hoscakal.

Un buon POV per questa vista panoramica su uno dei canyon pių spettacolari e suggestivi degli USA, mi piace la zona d'ombra sull'albero in primopiano che esalta i colori accesi delle rocce, complimenti!!

buon fine settimana,
Fabio.

sons sempore terribilmente affascinanti queste immagini di un posto che davvero deve essre magico. la luce risalta moltissimo , rispetto al cono d'ombra i primo piano. ottima idea.
e adesso fila a lavorare, ragazzaccio ....

Hi Franco,

fantastic view! I will probably never see this wonder by myself but captures like this give me some comfort and pure enjoyment watching them. I like how you used the tree to frame this shot and divide it into excellent parts: dry soil, marvelous red rocks and a glance of blue sky in horizon. Colours and contrasts are fantastic and the feeling of dimension of this canyon overwhelming. Marvelous shot!

Kind regards,
Jeri

Ciao Franco, gran bel POV per una splendida vista di questo coloratissimo canyon, uno tra i pių belli e caratteristici, č sempre un piacere vederlo, grazie, ciao Silvio

Ciao Franco,certo che tra questi canyons ogni volta che giri lo sguardo vedi un soggetto da immortalare assolutamente,un angolo piu' bello dell'altro insomma,questo e' forse uno dei migliori,buona serata,Luciano

Hello Franco,
Well done with the tree on the foreground.
It also gives more contrast in colours.
Greetings, Paul
