Beautiful Reflections on the Virgin River

The surface of the Virgin River reflects the illuminated clouds while streaks of sunlight shine down through breaks in the storm and on the horizon the golden alpenglow hues are beginning to paint the distant cloud cover. 

In this image I lensed while flying back to Boulder City Nevada after shooting the wilderness areas of the Kaibab First Nations Reservation in Southern Utah, I came upon this scene. In the foreground lays the Virgin River right above where it meets with the Colorado River to become Lake Mead. 

The first set of mountains above the river are known as the Black Mountains, behind them on the left are a small range known as Lava Butte and the Rainbow Gardens. And in the far distance on the horizon lay the Spring Mountains. Along the horizon on the left is Mount Potosi, in the middle is Red Rock and on the right is Mount Charleston.

This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to  raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain  unpopulated wilderness. 

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal  mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us. 

If you are interested in helping with this project I would love to have your assistance! Please consider upvoting or donating and please resteemit so that others may experience these wondrous places as well. Yehaw!! 

P.S. To All My Supporters!! 

So Whooo hooo!!

I awoke to over 1000 people tuned in to my posts!! How cool is that!?! 

I am really glad you folks seem to like what I am doing, and I have to say, your support really is helpful. 

Every tiny penny helps with this project as I am totally self funded. So your support means more than you can know.

I got the flu medicine in me and it seems to be working so I will sit here and do some posting over the next day or so. 

Again thanks so much for your support and I love you all!!!
