This is a shot taken in Zion National Park in Utah.

Zion National Park:
-------------------
Zion is an ancient Hebrew word meaning a place of refuge or sanctuary. Protected within the park's 229 square miles is a dramatic landscape of sculptured canyons and soaring cliffs. Zion is located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin and Mojave Desert provinces. This unique geography and the variety of life zones within the park make Zion significant as a place of unusual plant and animal diversity.

The shot:
---------
We can see in background mountains with beautiful colors. The road has the same color of the mountain to not disfigure the landscape.
I've found it was a success and this is why I photographed this road in foreground.
I love too the contrast between the light of the sun and the shadow of this tree.
