Utah Storm & Falls Photo

Photographer’s Note

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease."
----- JOHN MUIR

While driving north on Utah's Highway 95, approaching the Colorado River Canyon, a thunderstorm hit in the distance. Proceeding into the heart of the rainstorm, I witnessed a sight rarely seen in the aried Canyon, hundreds of waterfalls crashing down the sandstone walls in frenetic waves.

This image is one of those brief waterfalls lasting but a few minutes after the storm had passed.

Hello Ray,
this is a nice capture of the huge sandstones after the rain with a lovely waterfall as a rare highlight. I have done a slight modification with fixfoto, but then I realized, that I you don't allow the workshop option. So, I'm sorry to say that I can't show you what I mean. Anyway it's a nice and rare scene. I like it.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Hi there Ray
one more shot from a place where we can see a magnificent nature...those two rivers meeting just before falling down are beautiful. Lucky you were there in Autumn, I can also see some nice trees in warm colors.
TFS
Regards,
Rikk
