The Long View
Barren stone canyons as far as the eye can see. The landscape seems empty and starving for life but at the same time it's impressive and beautiful in its own way.
Although I don't remember it at the time, I noticed a flower carved into the red stone near the bottom of the image. Someone must have been inspired here!
Canyonlands National Park is located in southeastern Utah, not far from Moab.
Very beautiful vista! It always amazes me just how much life there actually is in these seemingly barren places... we used to go to the high desert around Joshua Tree, CA quite a lot, and the desert there was actually teeming with life.
Your right the life is there but we don't see much of it. A portion of desert wildlife comes out at night. This place looks really desolate though! Thank you!
Such a great view
Thanks mrme1984, it is a great view.
Oh yes @irvinesimages, from this point the landscape is impressive and delightful relief!
Thanks for the nice description, I like it!
A beautiful photo and can see the full breadth of the canyon!
It's quite expansive, amazing. Thank you!
Great photo @irvinesimages and this canyon looks amazing to the horizon!
It's a lot to see at one time, beautiful. Thank you!
Very beautiful photo and just fantastic landscape!
Another nice one, thanks!
Whoa, what a view! Majestic is a good word to describe it in my opinion. Or perhaps grandiose. Never seen this one before that I can remember. Thanks for sharing such great imagery! Also the flower carved in there is cool too! I can see why they would be inspired. What a neat spot.
Yes majestic sounds about right. This place is way out in the boonies, but was worth the drive. I was inspired!
Hi @irvinesimages,you are right, the inspiration was present, I see the carved flower, it is small but I could see it, love always appears at the least expected moment.
Blessings
