The impossible landscape Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here you are on the scout lookout point at the middle of angel's landing trail. The part on right go to the end of trail on top of angel's landind high of 450 meters. Previously i warned how dangerous it is because of trail who go on border and who is not for those who suffer even a little once of vertigo. But at the end, overview is really amazing.

Hi Alexis, I like your shot. I live about five hours from the GC and anything from there interests me. I think Bryce is my favorite however. OC, Zion and Bryce are just over our border. Your shot is very natural and has not been saturated with the color that many want to see. And yes it is dangerous walking in areas like this. Roger

Hello Alexis,
you´re right this really looks impossible. I love the Zion NP, but I was there just for a short time.
I like the colors here because some peopple try to oversaturate the colors to show the red stones even more red.
But only the quality of the large post is not very good.
Have a nice day,
KRis

Hi Alexis,

Oh boy, I get vertigo just sitting at my computer and looking at this shot! I remember being down in the canyon and looking up, wondering how anybody could make it up there... I'm usually not afraid of heights but this trail would be a bit too much for me.
Anyway, awesome shot! It gives a good idea of dimensions at Zion, which is not always easy to achieve, especially when looking up.

Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend,
Claudia

Hi, Alexis.
I know how difficult it is to come up with a good shot from Angels Landing, in ALL possible respects.
You deserve already several smileys for the simple fact of hiking this trail, your picture is a bonus. Nothing but praise!
Have a nice weekend, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.

il faudrait réduire un peu plus la hauteur de tes panos pour la version large car c'est difficile de naviguer dans l'image, et de toute façon tu y gagneras en qualité d'image, parce qu'il faut que ça tienne dans 400kb, alors la compression détruit l'image considérablement
superbe paysage encore une fois, avec au bout de la photo une présence humaine bienvenue pour ponctuer la lecture de l'image
amicalement
