This location in Utah near one of the main national parks was such a beautiful surprise to see in person.
This is the overlook near the visitor's center. It offers an amazing view of the canyon below with the layers of rock that represents so much geological history.
In the distance, you can see a large body of water. These are massive solar evaporation ponds used in the process of mining potash. The ponds cover about 400 acres of land. Potash is a water-soluble potassium salt mined from more than 3,000 feet below the ground.

Alfredo, the combination of lighting and depth of field in this image is stunning, giving it almost a 3D effect. Wonderful work!
Wow, what a wonderful comment to receive. Thank you! I agree this image has some nice depth to it because of the layers in the image. This one has the transitions I strive for in my work.
Like the different perspective on this absolutely wonderful location. This more intimate view makes us feel as if we are hiking through the area in person - great composition. Well seen and captured!
