Utah, USA.

Zion National Park is one of my favourite places in the US.  I have been here countless times, and every season displays a different kind of beauty.

This image was capture in November, in late fall.  I was traveling around the region, and I was closely monitoring the state of foliage in Zion National Park.  I kept calling the park rangers, asking them for an update.  There is a small window of opportunity, when foliage is at its pretties during fall.  “Plentiful and colorfull” is the key mission.  It can disappear within a few days. 

I finally decided to make the detour to Zion National Park.  Upon arriving, I was at first disappointed.  The amount of foliage was definitely not at its peak.  The last few days had been windy and a lot of it had already fallen down.  Nevertheless, I captured this photograph, deep in the canyon.  And I was extremely pleased with the result.  Some of the trees had already lost its gorgeous yellow foliage.  Others were full of it.  This added a nice contrast to the image.
