This is the outside of Cedar Canyon. The buttes on the north side of the canyon drop off tho prairie. This is the northeast corner of the canyon. Just around the butte to the left is the entrance to the canyon.

Oh, the golden glow of Cedar Canyon. This place must be situated just right to benefit so richly from the morning light. Beautiful capture. IMO, your fg elements are perfectly positioned. Very nice

The warm light and symmetry are appealing, Richard. The yucca feels a bit messy, but don't really have a suggestion about what to do with it.
