WC #700 - Rocky Path

As was the case with my previous image, this one was also taken in October 2012 (the following day, in fact) in the eastern region of Zion.  During some visits to Zion, without intending to ahead of time, I'm drawn towards something of a theme, depending on conditions during my visit.  In 2012, I spent a significant amount of time during my three weeks there wandering around the extensive network of dry washes in the eastern region, which had particularly good autumn color that year.

This works very nicely for the WC theme, Jim. The color here is gorgeous. I might be tempted to bring the highlight or overall exposure down just a bit, but no deal breaker just a thought for another look. The image is very solid as is......laugh

You've got some terrific colors here, Jim, both in the rocks beside the path and in the trees along side.  The curving path of white stones works very well at setting off the colors.
