22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A monumental world of standing rocks rising from Utah's Canyonlands
This image captures a lonely Juniper with the sunlit, endless, and rugged Maze district of Utah's Canyonlands National Park in the background. While the desert landscape is covered in a warm light by the setting sun, distant thunderstorms and a rainbow make for a dramatic backdrop close to the Blue Mountains near the horizon. A dramatic welcome after a nerve-wrecking seven hour drive over unpaved trails into the middle of nowhere.
