"Sculptural Elegance" By Robert Park Metate Arch The span itself is only about a foot wide, and rounded on top…

Sculptural Elegance” Metate Arch — Easy to find and drive to, near the beginning of the famous Hole-in-the-Rock Road out of the town of Escalante, this pretty little arch gets lots of visitors compared to the nearby ones down in the canyons. The two-tone coloration of the left column is unusual and attractive. The span itself is only about a foot wide, and rounded on top… located in Devil’s Garden on the Hole-in- the-Rock Road in Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument, Utah. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com/

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. The viewpoint offers a dramatic view of the middle part of the Grand Canyon National Park. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com/

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

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

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/
