Last Friday’s full moon captured near the Grand Canyon. A prescribed forest fire nearby added some smoke and cool color.

The normal road I take to Eureka Dunes at Death Valley National Park was washed out. So I had to go around and wouldn’t make it to the dunes that night. So I camped at Alabama Hills near Lone Pine California. It has great views and the camping is free! And the full moon was to rise that night.



It’s all about The Light as far as I am concerned. Flat light is ugly and bright light is straining to the eye. But filtered light or varying light produces dramatic images as seen recently at Zion National Park, Utah.

Taken from the Lake Powell Area in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. These images and many more available as a downloadable file or print at Dawn2Dawn Photography.
Next up are images from Coalmine Canyon on the Hopi Indian Reservation in Northern Arizona.
Lake Powell is on the border of Utah and Arizona. Formed by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, it has more shoreline than our Pacific Coastline. You might recognize in some of the photos, how the waterline has been dropping because of the drought in the area. I was there to capture the full moon rising.
