Detail of the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Flame-Licked

This was from my second visit to Bryce, which happened during a heatwave in June. We walked the rim trail, traveled the Navajo Loop down into the hoodoos and visited all the main overlooks. I wanted to capture the peaks in the mid-day sun, reflecting their oranges and reds in vivid intensity. By focusing closely on the hoodoos, the composition becomes somewhat abstract and reminiscent of the low, licking flames of a campfire.
