[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southwestern Utah in the United States. 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.

Hi Henryk,
very nice image of rich terracotta colour. I love the way you have composed the picture showing us the second window in the shade.
Best regards

Hi Henryk,

Ummm... I believe it's Thor's hAmmer, not hUmmer... ;o)
Anyway, great photo with unbelievable colours. Did you catch it around sunrise or sunset?

Thanks for sharing and best wishes
Claudia
