Desert Sandstone Glow by TonySpencer

Running around like a crazy person shooting three or four comps as fast as I could seemed to have worked for a change. Light in the desert this far south doesn’t last long normally, the clouds were so high on this evening that they stayed lit up for the best part of 30 minutes with that lovely balanced light bouncing around the red sandstone for just as long.

A natural arch frames the cottonwood trees in their autumnal splendor coursing down Chinle Wash in Canyon de Chelly.

The Paria Canyon – Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Cliffs Area contains some of the most other-worldly landscapes one could imagine. It takes a bit of doing to find your way back in here as the sand tracks are largely unmarked and any services are non-existent. But the reward for the effort is awe-inspiring. I’ll never forget the night a spent here sleeping on the desert floor under the Milky Way.
