Photographer’s Note

Evening on the Reef
Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA

This was taken just above Capitol Gorge, which you can see, in part, running across the middle of the frame.

I think I'm right in saying that until sometime in the 1960's this was still the main motor route through "the reef". Hard to beleive these days, as the gorge is really a dry river bed just waiting to be flooded.

Still, safely above the flash flood zone, this area provides endless possibilities for exploration.

As this the previous post, whilst very colourful, it simply looks far more coherent in this black(ish) and white version.

This is the entire frame, so those wishing for a little more sky can't have it! I'm a close cropped sky fetishist ;)

For scale, if you look very closely you might just see a little figiure in a white shirt down in the gorge, just where it bends out of view.

Regards
