A reflection in the pool of water at the base of Neon Canyon’s Golden Cathedral. This angle shows only a small part of the sandstone wall surrounding this large alcove in the Utah desert. The green areas are plant matter growing on the vertical rock wall.
Changes to original photo include: moderately increased red and green, greatly reduced blue, slightly increased saturation and reduced brightness. Normally this is a reddish brown sandstone which can appear “golden” but probably not in quite this shade!

Beautiful, Brian. You do have some gorgeous scenery over there. I hope to explore Arizona and Texas towards the end of the year. We are going in November as I also want to see Death Valley and I thought this would be the best time.:)
