Description
Every landscape is a work in progress. The famous Bryce Canyon hoodoos erode, gravity loves the residue, and these long, smooth slopes are the result. Slowly, slowly, one grain at a time, the fantastical shapes of Bryce are turning themselves into dunes.

bon travail!
sensational formations indeed
Intresting strata.
very beautiful. I wanted to go there lat month but failed to do so
Outstanding shot....
That is a great way to think of landscape! It has never occurred to me before now. A dynamic composition.
That's incredible. Seems made with Vue. Good approach.
There you go love it! There is a million shots like this to be had there. Great work!
It is almost surreal! You have done an excellent job with the composition by succeeding in giving scale as well as wonderful curves and lines. A great work of art and a stunning vista which I would love to visit. My eldest brother, who has lived in the US for three years and has travelled extensively in the US, remains of the opinion that Bryce Canyon is an absolute HAVE TO SEE attraction. It is therefore also on my ever increasing bucket list! :):)
An amazing place and capture. Aloha
It's the color that attracts me. make me think of mars..
Wonderful place! Exceptional capture! :)
Amazing photography Tara. God bless.
Great pic and very interesting Hugs Susan~
Excellent shot Tara. The shades of red pop.
OK. My sci-fi nerd is gonna speak for a part of this comment. This is what Frank Herbert was probably attempting to portray when he created the entire Dune universe (the Duniverse?). This is the Shield Wall, before it was destroyed by Paul Atreides' (Muad'dib's) illegal "atomics", which then allowed his Feydakin warriors (on their impressively big sandworms) to completely overwhelm Harkonnen and Saudakar imperial forces. OK...all Dune flashbacks aside (I really need to stop re-reading those novels!) This is amazing! This is one of those landscape shots that gives you a great, big ah-ha moment. Waves. Oceanic currents. But wait, where's the ocean? Nature's artistic prowess is always brilliant, and you've captured both the grandeur and the wonderfully intimate subtlety of this particular work in progress. This is awe inspiring. Oh, and it's pretty, too.
WOW... fantastic and marvelous landscape !!!
Every picture I've seen of Bryce Canyon has been all about the pinnacle formations. Thank you for showing us what we've been missing!
Beautiful image. Well done.
Oh, Tara, this is absolutely brilliant! The colors and patterns look so organic, like muscle. You caught it at just the right time. The light is perfect and the trees give the image a wonderful perspective. This one belongs on a museum wall. Yep, I'm jealous.
Now this is some serious Bryce work Tara Very beautiful capture
Fantastic picture, and you just knew I'd go crazy over all those scattered and jumbled rocks! The colors are quite stunning.
We've all seen the big things...it is the small things that make a place unique. Beautifully done.
It's amazing to think about the timespan of landscape changes; and what a wonderful composition you've got here! Well done!
Absolutely stunning, Tara! What a beautifully composed photo! The trees impart a great sense of scale - even if we don't know exactly how big they are... At first I wondered if you had started dabbling in Bryce... But now, I see you're actually IN Bryce...and dabbling quite beautifully, indeed! (sorry - couldn't resist the Bryce puns...)
Lovely shot Tara! Great colors.
Colors rocks absolutely wonderful .I like very much .Thank you Tara!
Oh man, where to start? Color, shape, texture; it's all simply beautiful and almost otherworldly!!
Wonderful composition.
I agree completely with Chip about the Dune connection - however, there are no trees on Arrakis. Fantastic photograph, Tara. Once again, you're messing with our minds in terms of scale... I love it!
