Sunrise at Landscape Arch was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen. One moment it was dark and then the next it was as if someone set the mountain on fire. Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.

These wagons in Dry Fork Canyon are left over from a much harder time. Utah is one of my favorite places to photograph. Many time I've stood at this location on a dark night during a hunting trip and marveled at the Big Dipper nestled perfectly between the mountains in the background.
