Ron and I really enjoyed our Zion stop during our Southwest road trip. Every day was productive while we were there. Here's one of my favorites from the whole trip. I hope you like it!

That would be asking too much of everyone but I'm glad that there is at least one person who loves it.

Thanks for the comment!
We spent some time trying to find this spot as we had seen a few pictures of it before. Once there, we fought with the other photographers for a good position on the bridge then waited. This was one of the best sunsets I've had the privilege of photographing before.

This is the shot I was busy showing Aaron Newman while you were photographing our feet.

i can see why it's one of your favorites, Danny... it's absolutely beautiful! the soft flow of the river, the rich colors of the trees and mountain, the evening light in the sky... really, really nice.

WOW, I was just there and did a picture of this same river from the bridge! Great minds think alike! Your picture is pretty good, maybe I could take a look at it later with some of my new software that the pro's use.
When I was shooting from that bridge with my new professional camera, it seemed everyone with a camera wanted to copy me!!! Even some photographers with tripods set-up next to me....hahaa when are they going get a clue that tripods are not needed anymore! hahahaaa

You must have one of those special "IS" (image stabilization lenses)

I prefer the beer glass tripod option...

AMAZING. While living in Vegas I camped in Zion every year until we moved. It was one of our favorite places. Thanks for the wonderful picture of a wonderful place!

I really like the soft lighting on the tips of the mountains and the bottoms of the clouds, which is then reflected on the river below. Wonderful shot! Thanks for sharing.

I must admit to having done this before. It always results in keepers.

Thanks! I was fortunate to get a good sunset and show up early enough for a good spot on the bridge.
