15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Go where few venture

The drive was long. It was sandy. Once you arrived the trailhead was incredibly dusty and windy. A fine sandy dust that stuck to your clothes and got in your eyes. The very people that I saw during the day had almost all left before the “golden hour”. Which meant I had the White Pocket mostly to myself. I liked this shot as it showed the different textures and shapes of the sandstone but also some of the different colors in this rock.
