Photo of the Week--6/8/09

This is one of my favorite photos that I've taken; it dates to February 2006, when we took a week-long trip out to Utah and Arizona. I snapped this vista during a walk through the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. There's something to be said for going during the off-season, with fewer tourists to compete with and a little snow to brighten up the landscape and contrast with the oranges of the canyon. I had this as my wallpaper for at least a couple of years, until I replaced it with a shot from Antarctica, but I might go back to it if I get tired of cool blues and greens.
