Bryce Canyon – USA tour 2008 – Trees barely hold on against the elements / please view large / Rich colors can be seen among the varied hoodoos, walls, and fins, the textures and formations were incredible. / I enjoyed the most amazing hike down to the bottom and the met the cutest Americans…...a bunch of overly friendly squirrels who had a habit of climbing up legs !!! Am not a tree nor do I have nuts :)) Yes, I had to capture them,,,, / Bryce Canyon is not a “real” canyon. It is not carved by flowing water. Water is the active ingredient here, but in the form of “frost-wedging” and chemical weathering. For 200 days a year the temperature goes above and below freezing every day. During the day, melt water seeps into fractures only to freeze at night, expanding by 9%. Now as ice, it exerts a tremendous force (2,000-20,000 pounds per squarte inch). Over time this “frost-wedging” shatters and pries rock apart. In addition, rain water, which is naturally acidic, slowly dissolves the limestone, rounding off edges and washing away debris. / . / WARNING / ©2008 Globalphotos All rights reserved. / All photographs, text and images by Globalphotos are the exclusive property of Globalphotos – protected under Australian and international copyright laws. / These images may not be reproduced, copied or manipulated without written permission. / No use for Public Domain. / Use of any image for another photographic concept or illustration is a violation of copyright.

In late fall, ominous clouds close in over Red Canyon, Utah just before a thunderstorm. Red Canyon is only 10 miles west from Bryce Canyon National Park and is one of many fantastic locations along Scenic Byway 12. Red canyon is known for its many hiking trails and hoodoos. It is located in the Dixie National Forest and is not considered a national park. Other areas somewhat close by are Bryce Canyon, Escalante, the Grand Staircase, and Cedar Breaks. Most people simply stop and photograph the rock formations from the street and move on to Bryce, however Red Canyon has many trails that lead to really amazing views such as Losee Canyon Trail, Cassidy Trail, and the amazing Casto Canyon trail. Don’t miss this place!

Thor’s Hammer peeks up above the rest of the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon and the distant Black Mountain range can be seen near the horizon. Thor’s Hammer is located down Sunset Trail near Queen’s Garden. Erosion has carved the colorful limestone and sandstone formations into spires, fins, and arches, now referred to as hoodoos.

One of the attractions at Zion National Park is its red roads that wind through the park and the eastern slickrock area. I have always been facsinated just by the roads and how the hoodoo formations and rock formations fit in so nicely. You can travel from Checkerboard Mesa all the way up northeast and come to several views like this one and just stand their in awe of nature. This one phototgraph was taken about 5 miles past Checkerboard Mesa with a 20mm lens and polarizing filter to bring out the reds in the roads and rocks.

The head hunters really let their standards drop on these three.

/ A Carved Fantasyland / Ebenezer Bryce, the Mormon who settled on this peculiar land in 1874, gave the canyon its name and its reputation. He called it ” a hell of a place to lose a cow!” He was here at the behest of the Mormon Church, up in Salt Lake City; the elders hoped to establish cotton plantations here and so, improbable as it sounds, dubbed the area Dixie Land. Bryce and the other pioneers found that it would take far more than a wishful name-change to turn bare rock into an oasis, and he gave it up after five years.. The name is actually a misnomer; there is no Bryce canyon—but there are small canyons, and hollows and passes and gaps, throughout the park. Bryce is not one big ravine with the river running through it. It is , however, a series of amphitheaters, natural stone bowls, carved into the edge of Utah ’s Plateau. From certain vantage points, the amphitheaters seem to be packed shoulder with concert-goers—the “red rocks standing like men” of the original Paiute. Indian name. These marvelous stone flutes and towers vary from delicate lavenders and pinks to bold reds and purples, and the hues shift almost from minute to minute as sun and clouds play across them.

Vivid colors at sunrise, captured from Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. If you ever have a chance to see a sunrise in Bryce Canyon it’s a no-brainer, even if it means getting up at 5am as I had to to capture this. All content & images © Stephen Vecchiotti.

Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park is located in southern Alberta—it is like being transported to another country, another time and space. The amazing natural rock formations are known as hoodoos and similar ones are also found a little further north in Drumheller, Alberta (the area where many dinosaur remains have been found). Sony a350K – 18mm, F/4, 1/30 Thanks so much for stopping by—my other work can be seen by theme here….......

The Bisti is a 45,000 acre National Wilderness that is an ancient seabed and is now full of hoodoos, striated rock formations, petrified wood and dinosaur bones, and other examples of tortured geography of the most surreal sort. The Bisti is located in Northwest New Mexico, near the Four Corners town of Farmington. On this occasion, six of us hiked in to the Bisti just before sundown, on the night of the full moon. We packed in a scant two miles, but the undulating and unforgiving landscape (and the frequent photo breaks) made it seem much further. Along the way, we encountered another group of Bisti chroniclers led by Carole Devillers, frequent contributor to National Geographic magazine and one-time guide for Jacques Cousteau. Pentax K20D, 1/3 second @ F5.6, ISO 200, 160mm Using a Scott Kelby technique, I shot the moon separately. Then, in Paint Shop Pro XII, I copied an adjustment layer and converted that to B&W and then to infrared. Then I reduced the opacity to let in a little color from the bottom layer. Pentax K20D, 1/250 @ F8, ISO 200, 300mm.
