Photo of the Month–September

Written by Alpenglow Images on September 1st, 2010

As I learn more post-processing techniques, I’ve been enjoying going through several of my older images on this website and adding some “finishing touches” to them.  This is a nice exercise because it allows me to re-evaluate images, as well as take my own trips down memory lane.  If I combine this with the fact that several close friends have taken trips to southern Utah in the last few months, I am reminded how I feel about that place.  So, September’s photo of the month is from the summer of 2009, when I visited the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Zebra Canyon is a fantastic slot canyon located in the northern part of the monument, and is extremely photogenic.  Shooting in Zebra Canyon was something I envisioned for almost 2 months before the trip, so I was happy to finally get the chance to visit the location in August 2009.

    Great image! Exploring red-rock country is one of my favorite things to do…especially on a sunny autumn afternoon so the rock in the canyons glows like lava.

    • Thanks, Russ and Julie!

      Julie, I couldn’t agree more. Southern Utah is one of the reasons autumn is my favorite season!

      Russ, I’m the opposite of you: I need to get to Peek-a-boo and Spooky on my next trip. Can’t wait to check them out!
