Mukuntuweap (Zion Canyon)

Carved for ages by the northern fork of the Virgin River, Zion is one of the southwest's great temples of nature and one of my top 5 favorite national parks. This photo was taken a quarter of the way up on the Angels Landing trail.

I wanted to do something to bring in winter, since the season has officially started. This is shot is actually an Infrared HDR that I shot during the day. With the use of Photoshop I was able to turn it into night. Stars and moon were added as well as the darkening of the sky. The Infrared effect and clouds were as is. No textures or separate images from other photos were used to make this.

Hope you all had a great weekend!



I think this image is much better seen Large: View On Black
