A Snapshot and The Scoop: An Island in the Sky, Indeed


I will never get tired of this view. I have seen the sunset from Canyonlands National Park's Island in the Sky district many times before, but never during the winter. The low angle of the January sun lit up the oranges of the thousand foot clifs like I've never seen, reflected in dazzling flashes by patches of ice and snow. Cold blue shadows stretched behind boulders and hardy desert shrubs, and the sky couldn't have been more colorfully painted. It was possible, for a few brief minutes, that nothing in the world existed except those rusty cliffs and that wide open sky.

Leave me a comment below and describe the most beautiful sunset you've ever seen. Or sunrise. Whatever!
