ELYSIUM

The mid-morning sun illuminates the hoodoos in an eternal dance of light and shadow.

Bryce gives equal consideration to both the vast landscape as well as intricate details.  From this view near Sunset Point I decided to compose a wide-angle image of the Amphitheater.  As the sun rose higher in the sky with slowly circling clouds overhead I marveled at the interplay of light and shadow.  A few structures within this image are actually named, such as the Sunken Ship in the top right, but in my eyes they are all unique in the way they catch and reflect light.  I do not know what Heaven or Paradise may look like, but I can only hope it bears some resemblance to this magical place.
