Fearless
A hostile landscape and a threatening storm: there should have been a warning that only the most fearless of us should enter.

Love this image. Kinda reminds me of Zion N.P. If I didn’t live near my beloved GSMNP , I would want to live near Zion.

It does resemble Zion, now that you mention it. I haven’t been to Zion since I was a little kid, but now I’m thinking I ought to head over there one of these days…

Thanks. I am not sure why this languished in the archives for five whole years before I noticed it!

A place for you and Ansel and Georgia. This knocks me out.

Thank you, Michael. This is actually the back side of the place that Georgia called “the white place” – the plan for the evening was to hike further into it, but the weather had other ideas.

Rain tomorrow!

Awesome landscape capture! I hope you didn’t get caught in the storm!

Thank you, Robert. We did get caught in the very edge of the storm, and then when the sane people in our group returned to Santa Fe, the less-sane of us drove higher into the mountains so we could be closer to the storm – we wanted to take photos of lightning, of course!
