Description
Canyonlands National Park
There's a difference between buttes and mesas. Buttes are taller than they are wide. Mesas are wider than they are tall. In general. Mesa means table, so think of how tables look. Buttes are like barstools ... as in ... "get your butte up on that barstool!"
... Just in case you were looking for a way to remember the difference ...

Very good explanation between the differences Great capture
I always like a good view of the buttes.
Impressive pano and beautiful shot.
Reminds me of the method of remembering which are stalactites and stalagmites... think of a ballerina dancing on an ant heap - when the mites come up, the tites come down :o) Love the photograph. I mite use it as the basis for a Vue landscape (if you don't mind).
A really fascinating park. I think I will go there again.
I shall never forget now!
That is my favorite park!
This looks mysterious, or perhaps like a mirage. Of course I know the difference between buttes and mesas. I live in California where Spanish is required.
Thanks Tara - it's now implanted in my memory box! Lovely shot.
Great shot Well done !!!!
Butte-iful image great depth to it
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Great capture of this beautiful thick atmospheric landscape!!
Wonderful image Tara. Beautiful countryside
Awesome image Hugs Susan
Awesome view. Great photography!
What a magnificent shot, the landscape is magical!
And I thought they were just a different name for the same thing.
Wow, this is so impressive; so much to see and it goes on and on and on...beautiful capture!
Well, thanks to you Tara, I have a way to remember the difference, now! LOL! So now I need to get my butte off the mesa, and get to work on the next page... LOL!
For such a bright and sunny place this photo looks like the end of the world is coming to someone familiar with the area! I know it is still early morning by the shadows being cast. I see the La Sal Mountains are a little hazy but generally a clear day. What really makes this stand out is the contrast of the foreground with the background and the highlight patches that meander through the middle to those buttes of yours lol!
Blimey! Its just like so many great Westerns I've seen,.. This is impressive! Rob
Nice butte...hehe. We sure got different results from the same place. Love your version...very mysterious out there. Great park.
