| and then quietude |
The last visit to a National Park during our trip this year lead us to Zion N.P. It was hot,
but there was only a little time to hike a short trail due to an upcoming thunderstorm.
So, no pictures from glowing red rocks in the late afternoon sun, but dark and grey weather conditions.
However, as we left Zion N.P., by chance looking left to get a last glimpse of that beautiful mountain area, suddenly I saw that fraction of a rainbow. I hit the breaks, stopped and took a whole series of pictures. As the rainbow slowly dispersed, I noticed some more cars stopping by and a bunch of people taking pictures. But I was first :-))
Eine kleine Entschädigung für Gewitter im Bryce Canyon und dann auch noch im Zion N.P. Ich war der erste, der an der Straße anhielt, um diesen Moment zu fotografieren. Aber mir folgten dann kurze Zeit später noch einige mehr.. :-)
Das ganze Schauspiel dauerte nicht mehr als 5 Minuten.

Tolles Landschaftsbild!markkeville 07/04/2020 11:52
This is probably better than any of my own pictures of Zion; .(From the same trip as the grand canyon).
I was going to post some other pictures of that trip, in any case.
(Happier times)

It's great to be there when the weather changes and gives a few moments to capture a memorable image. Great light on the mountains and of course a fabulous rainbow.Ken Piros 05/09/2012 12:48
Beautiful landscape and rainbow. The colors of the rocks in the shadow and light really add to the image as well.James Duta 22/08/2012 11:10
