    Great shots. Love the lighting and processing on Factory Butte. We were at Capitol Reef early this year and even passed through Hanksville so it was great to see your images.

    I love Utah! It’s one of my favorite places to photograph. I actually told my husband we need to buy a vacation home near Moab and he agreed! That’s how much we love it up there!
