"Temples Of Kolob" Zion National Park" By Robert Park
The Kolob Canyon section of Zion National Park is one of the most conveniently located national park areas in all of Utah. Located just off Interstate 15, these spectacular finger canyons of Zion offers soaring cliffs of red Navajo sandstone and deep pocket canyons just waiting to be discovered. Kolob may be the little known portion of Zion National Park but that doesn't mean i
t is not as spectacular as the main canyons of Zion proper. Kolob is home to a unique geological history and diverse animal and plant life. The scenery is stunning and provides visitors with peaceful and serene surroundings unmatched by any other National Park in the southwest. The word "Kolob" is from Mormon scripture meaning "residence closest to heaven." Visit Kolob Canyon and see for yourself. Kolob Canyons is a beautiful place to tour throughout the year. In the winter, the red Navajo sandstone glimmers with a fresh dusting of snow and in the spring the waterfalls cascade down the rugged cliffs, streaking them black from the run-off. Wildflowers bloom in abundance during the summer, and with the coming of utumn, the yellow-gold leaves of the valley's scrub oak offers an interesting contrast to the vast scenery.

"Impressions of Monet" Inspired by the great master impressionist, this is a study in simplicity and elegance. I had pre visualized this artwork and was able to bring together the elements of selective focus with exposure to isolate and bring forth the painterly look of the motion blurred reflections on the water and the lone blooming lily. There is a timeless appeal that is manifested in Impressions of Monet that pays tribute to the master. Location Death Valley National Park, California."

"Great Streaked"Burr Trail, Utah By Robert Park My favorite feature is the enormous sandstone cliffs with their beautiful desert patina varnish.

Great Streaked The Burr Trail takes the adventurous traveler into some of Utah’s most beautiful and extraordinary country with views of the Henry Mountains, the colorfully contorted Waterpocket Fold, red Circle Cliffs, and Long Canyon. My favorite feature is the enormous sandstone cliffs with their beautiful desert patina varnish. It takes thousands of years for the varnish to form and the remote Long Canyon has some of the most dramatic canyon walls to be seen. There is a solitude and magnificence in these areas that I wished to capture and I feel the sense of remote beauty in this image. Location Burr Trail, Utah © RobertPark www.robert-park.com

"Prosperity" By Robert Park- Robert Park http://www.robert-park.com

“Prosperity” A Prosperity Tree is said to attract wealth and prosperity, and bring good luck to those who have it. The tree is symbolic with branches that basically represents the five elements of feng shui, wood, water, earth, fire and metal. It not only adds life to a room, which is an important principle of feng shui, it also helps maintain balance and harmony in a given space. I chose a square format camera as it embodies perfect balance, allowing the mind to freely wander throughout the image. As you gaze into this image you begin to relive the Maple tree’s plight as it reached for new areas despite twists and turns. In other words you get the rare chance to recreate the tree’s own Prosperity. Location: Portland , OR © RobertPark www.robert-park.com/
