Horseshoe Bend - a photo on Flickriver

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend is a majestic sight to behold. Part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, it is formed by the meandering Colorado River making a 270 degree horseshoe shaped bend in the sandstone rocks.

I spent about two hours around sunset with my tripod, taking 50+ shots, all three exposure brackets. The location was full of people, many getting very dangerously close to the edge of the rocks, which totally would freak me out. Several people were decked out with unique clothing, flowing white robes, clearly for their Instagram shots with their photographers in tow... Just an amazing experience.

This shot was at 5:40 PM, about 25 minutes after the last rays of sunshine over the rocks on the top left. It was almost blue hour but not yet dark enough for a deep blue sky.

3 xp HDR.

Thank you very much for your views, faves and comments.
