Utah is one of the most beautiful states I have been to. This is the kind of thing you see just driving down the highway. I took advantage of my polerizer again with the mid-day lighting. You can see motion in the lower half due to the fact that me and the camera were traveling down the road at 70 mph.

It's good to be back! Mighty hot, but nice and dry. It's also nice to be deciding WHICH Starbucks at which to have my favorite coffee drink instead of IF the current part of the state even has a Starbucks. :)

I like how you photographed a lot of sky and just a small piece of mountain. It makes the perspective work very well.

Thanks everyone! Just to clarify, I wasn't driving; I rolled down the passenger window and snapped several shots.

Beautiful composition. Wisp of grass, bold plateau, and all that sky topped off by a nice little cloud. Well done.
