I'm back! Yes, yet again I'm here to bombard you with my annual barrage of autumn images from Zion.

This photograph was taken at about 1:00 PM at one of my favorite little "secret" spots. It demonstrates that even in mid-day the canyons and towering cliffs of Zion provide many opportunities to find appealing light.

I never get tired of your images of fall in Zion, Jim. I like the wide angle, exaggerated foreground and the leaves nicely scattered leaves on the ground in this image. Nice, subtle image showing what makes Zion a special place during fall. I spent a several days there early last week, and I would love to be still there.

Never been there. One of these days...Good shots can be found day and night and not just the golden hours. This is almost composed as an "x" shto, with the slanting rocks and the maples sort of slanting toward them. A nice path to follow and things to see along the way.

The composition flows so well throughout this image, and the colors are subtle and beautifully displayed. Very well seen and captured JIm!
