A red sandstone arch and the cliff behind it frame a clear blue sky with a single ethereal cloud floating within. There are a couple of strange, eye-like cavities in the cliff face.

The towering bulk of a whitish sandstone monolith looms over a grouping of pseudo-hoodoos in red sandstone at center of image. An odd dark-colored formation, smaller in size, appears just at left of the hoodookins. The sky above is mostly cloudy with blue peering through.

Dominance and submission

A colorful view of a red dirt road winding into the canyon country, bordered by bushes of green and yellow, destination somewhere this side of the various-colored walls of sandstone and siltstone in the middle distance. The sky shows thickening gray clouds.

A random dirt road in southern #Utah. No special destination in mind. Just wandering - but far from lost.

A partially demolished stone structure stands sentinel on a limestone precipice overlooking a sparsely forested pinon pine landscape. Sleeping Ute Mtn. rises in the background on the right horizon line. The sky above shows scattered puffy white clouds.

Crazy contours and leading lines curve and merge into the distance on the slope of this sandstone butte. The sky is featureless but for a few speckled fair weather clouds. Another butte appears in the distance at far left.

SWOOP! goes the slickrock.

A monumental stone spire pierces the sky in front of a gray cloudbank, its surface painted orange by the setting sun. Below and at left, a fire-red low ridge of layered sandstone cuts across the image, adding depth. 3-image merge from Canon 5DII and 70-200mm lens.

Off topic, but seeing Monkeywrenching mentioned, I immediately thought of the first Edward Abbey book I ever read, The Monkeywrench Gang which was so long ago, long before my daughter was a part of my life. Still I have to go back to the fact that the Colorado River is in bad shape.

A lone raven is visible through a massive sandstone arch. It looks tiny against the steep canyon walls, which are streaked with desert varnish in this black and white image. The sky is a uniform, featureless gray.

Up close, partial view of a shingled roof on an adobe brick farmhouse. A few shingles are missing and many are warped and coming loose. Off to the left is the roof of a below-ground root cellar. The homestead is surrounded by steep, towering cliffs of colorful sandstone. The blue sky above has wispy white clouds.

The sun goes down in a brilliant ball over the distant blue ridges above the canyonlands in this image. To the left is a small promontory overlooking the distant tortured terrain below and at right. The canyons on display there seem to go on forever.

#Sunset at Needles Overlook (south of #Moab) for #Scape day. Getting lost would be a breeze down there in the maze of twisting canyons. Canon 5DII, 50mm @ f/8 - image taken in the summer of 2013.
