Zion Canyon

The first two were taken at night; you can just catch a couple of stars in the second one. There was a long wait expected while a big vehicle was escorted through the Zion tunnel so I asked the ranger if it would be OK to do a bit of photography as the park looked so lovely in the moonlight. It's the first time I've ever attempted to do any nightime photography. Must do more of it sometime, but must also remember that jumping out of a car with a heater into a climate where the temperature is well below freezing is not a good idea.

The deer were justlucky. I came a different way on one of the trails and ended up with a mile walk back along the road to where the car was parked. I had almsot walked passed the deer before I saw them. There was a whole family of them. Baby deer is looking at you. Mummy deer is eating some grass, and if you look closely you can just see daddy deer (with antlers) in the background.

Thanks Steve. great pics! Zion looks so different to the time we saw it with snow! That tunnel was a nightmare as we were in a large coach and it almost touched the sides - but it was worth it! The bookshop is also mega interesting with all sorts of useful info.

Wow, great shots.
They make me doubly want to head across country when the children are older to experience a bit more of what the rest of the US has to offer.

The sheer scale of things is awesome.

Have you hit Vegas yet or are you en route there?

Great to see Zion in your photo's, we passed through in the dark 3 years ago, on the way up to Bryce, just as dramatic and amazing. Would love to go back and spend a week or two exploring.

Its hard to believe that the scenery can change so must from one place to the next.

Keep up the Posting Steve.

Can't get enough if them!!

Bravo Bravo

Great shots Steve, Zion is an amazing place, it seems funny to here you talk about it being cold as it was 100 + degrees when we were there. I am really enjoying all your photos, we have been to most of the places and it is great to "meet" a kindred spirit.
