Deadhorse Point

Posted By: slowpez, 03-27-2020, 10:40 AM

So bored with this shelter in place that I have been forced to pull up some old photos that I have been meaning to do a little pp on. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2015 by packing up our RV and going on a six month long trip to visit a bunch of our national parks. We had a blast and came home with so many photos that I will never get through them all.

That light is amazing! That plateau looks like an enormous stage with the stage lights on.

This was taken from the most popular spot in Deadhorse State Park for sunset viewing. It overlooks Canyonlands NP and the Green River which you can barely make out in the lower left corner.
Thank you for the very nice comments. Be safe and wash those hands!!!!!!

Congratulations... but how can this be? when you told me you were only twenty one.

Great picture, can't wait to get back out in the RV. It's our 54th tomorrow, we are normally camping by this date.

Well, I'm getting up there in years and I am most likely confused too. I meant to say that I just look 21

I feel your pain. We had to cancel our trips scheduled for this month and we are hanging on hoping that we can keep next month's reservations. Thinking of pulling the old RV into the front yard and camping out there. Happy Anniversary to you both. I will lift a glass in your honor (it is the least I can do and I am sure Kerrowdown will as well.)

You'll always be twenty one to me.

I never need an excuse to raise a glass...

Another example where the small format here just doesn't do a photograph justice. I strongly encourage everyone to view the higher resolution version on Flickr, the canyon walls come to life and your post-processing looks more subtle and much more effective. Excellent!
