The Corridor" The Narrows , Zion National ParK
An incredible experience awaits you deep in the Virgin Narrows.
This magical spot is a favorite of mine for its magical glow at numerous special times.
The narrow canyon is several hundred feet deep at this point yet only 15 ft across at points.
This area opens up a bit into a curve in the canyon , letting glorious light in that cascades off the canyon walls picking up glow. By Robert Park

 The new Freedom Tower, the World Trade Center reopens 13 years after the tragic incident that took 2,700 life's. MY latest image "Freedom Reigns" was created on my recent trip to NYC and it stands as a tribute to the tenacity and resilience of the people of NYC and America. The newly renovated Brooklyn Bridge Park and Freedom Tower energize this skyline view from high above the ground level. with Freedom Tower, NYC at DUMBO, Brooklyn. By  Robert park

'LAYERS IN TIME' Palouse Falls" By Robert Park www.robert-park.com

Via Flickr:
Eastern Washington State
When I was on location in eastern Washington I had heard of a waterfall and canyon in what seemed to be a land of soft rolling plains. When I came to Palouse Falls I was awestruck by a sweeping vista that seemed to peel back layers of time. I knew that a long exposure in the twilight hour would reveal the layer upon layer that the vista before me presented.

"Serpentine Dune The silence, stillness, unending sense of curves and the feeling of nothingness out in the distants.

The silence, stillness, unending sense of curves and the feeling of nothingness out in the distant horizon are the elements that leave the biggest impression when hiking the big dunes. You don’t realize just how big the dunes are until you trek out beyond the foot prints and tracks that are left behind by day hikers. When you get into the dunes the silence is meditative and you begin to see in sweeping forms and swirling mountains of sand. I was struck by the lines before me in a serpentine form and I decided to make this my final destination as going forward would have tracked the dunes and marred the simplicity of the landscape. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com

"Star Gaze" Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Arizon A masterpiece of a lonely rock waiting for the stars to come out at sunset

Via Flickr:
Star Gazer” The Vermillion Cliffs are one of my favorite places in the world. It is a land of wonders and geological oddities coupled with the high Colorado plateaus. With a stunning clarity of air and light, this area offers absolutely wondrous sunsets, sunrises, and landscape possibilities. Rare Spring storms brought clouds to the Paria Plateau giving the sunset a sense of magic and drama. I had pre-visualized this image and when I had seen the storms clearing I drove three and a half hours straight to the plateau, through the treacherous sand, just to get to this area. After three days of camping in the remote wilderness with the glory of nature open to me, I was able to create this masterpiece of a lonely rock waiting for the stars to come out at sunset.

"First Light Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah "By Robert Park Thor’sHammer, The Hunter

Via Flickr:
Thor’s Hammer, The Hunter, Thirty to forty million years ago this rock was “born” in an ancient lake that covered much of Western Utah. The primary weathering force at Bryce Canyon is frost wedging which creates mazes of abstract cities and figures. I planned my arrival at Bryce to place the rising sun behind The Hammer so the silhouette would block the sun bringing the glowing light bounced off the canyon walls. © Robert Park http://www.robert-park.com"

"Truckin" Grateful Dead Head Cholla, Joshua Tree NP I was photographing sunrise backlit cholla in Joshua Tree this winter and while I was entranced by the glowing backlighting effect I was unaware that this Dead Head fan was out for a morning jog. He looked at me saying "Dude That's An Awesome Camera" and ran off, but not before I got an image off. © RobertPark www.robert-park.com

"Metlako Falls" is a waterfall on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in Hood River County, Oregon,

"Metlako Falls" The falls drop out of narrow, calm pool, and thunder into an impressive gorge. Though the falls are usually cited as being of a Plunge form, because of the narrow constriction, the fire hosing tendency of the water as it drops over the lip of the cliff, as well as the obvious depth of the pool at the base of the falls. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com

Also called Upper Horsetail Falls, Ponytail falls emerges from two rounded faces of volcanic rock and gracefully drops into a shallow pool. I wanted to portray the gracefulness and serenity of this waterfall so I got down low into the stream where moss covered boulders dominated the foreground. the slow shutter speed and graceful lines in extract an elegance that is timeless.

Toroweap Point" Toroweap Point offers the most magnificent view in the entire Grand Canyon. The view is dramatic because the cliff is nearly vertical, dropping almost straight down some 3,000 feet to the Colorado River.

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

Via Flickr:
Horseshoe Bend’” I have photographed this area numerous times, yet the sense of drama, space, and magic had eluded me for many years due to the deep canyon and harsh light of the desert. I had envisioned a twilight image with streams of light cascading across the sky, giving a soft gentle glow to the deep gorge that lay ahead of me. I spent four nights in Page, Arizona waiting on the edge of a storm until the conditions were correct. On the third day a light snowfall precluded a successful image, however on the last day the storm began to clear. Beautiful threads of light and clouds streamed across the sky, while the foreground basked in the radiant glow. It was then that I created Horseshoe Bend. Located at Page, Arizona. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com/

"Patriarch" Grand Tetons National Park By Robert Parkhttp:www.robert-park.com

Via Flickr:
Patriarch" The old “Patriarch Tree” in Grand Tetons National Park is one of the most iconic images of the park, but it is seldom photographed due to the remoteness and grizzly bears that inhabit the terrain in the area. This was one of the most thrilling photographs I ever created as my senses were on full alert as I hiked through the land well before dawn to position myself alone in the woods. There is an artful play of form that the Patriarch tree has as it seems to “Pose” for you with the Tetons in the distance. The warm toned B&W gives the timeless compliment to this ancient park dweller. LOCATION: The Grand Tetons © RobertPark www.robert-park.com/

"PT Sublime" By Grand Canyon, National Park By Robert Parkhttp://www.robert-park.com

Via Flickr:
PT Sublime Point Sublime is a seldom visited spectacle on the North Rim. It is a treacherous 17 mile high clearance Jeep trail that rewards you at the end of the road with Point Sublime, an isolated peninsula utterly surrounded by the canyo n and monuments. I travel there in late August to capture monsoons in the canyons. Choosing a vantage point that gave the sensation of depth and space, I waited as the sun set and the sky and canyon lit up. It doesn’t take much imagination to see where this remote point got it’s name from as It was simply a sublime experience. Location: Point Sublime, Grand Canyon, NP © RobertPark www.robert-park.com/
