| Zion National Park, Utah. Here in the canyon country of southwest Utah, a combination of melting winter snow and summer monsoon rains over the ages has sculpted a dramatic landscape of soaring redrock walls and deep well-watered canyons. Springs gush from the base of the Navajo Sandstone layer throughout Zion to form countless oases including this one along Zion Canyon. Caught in a pool of swirling water, autumn leaves create a pinwheel effect with the aid of a 60-second time exposure. As Loren Eiseley so succinctly put it, "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." All photos in these galleries may be ordered as fine art framed prints or for stock photography usage. |
