Making pictures
We arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park in the late afternoon. After setting up camp, we take a stroll along the rim walk to view the hoodoos. I come across this man, hard at work on a painted image of the glorious colors and lights spread before us in Bryce Amphitheater.

How neat! I like that in your image of the painter, we see the landscape clearly only in his painted version and the 'real' landscape is blurred.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, this is just stunning, love all the different colors and angles to this! I would love to see the painter's finished product!
ReplyDeleteVery nice captures - it's fun to see the painter capturing the scene.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning view, Val!
ReplyDeleteVal, can I please go on your next trip with you. This is a gorgeous place and a gorgeous picture. The inclusion of the artist is marvelous.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is just an awesome view. Great image and very cool to see the painter.
ReplyDeleteHey your painting came out a lot quicker than his did, but what he is doing is the one thing I wished I could do (and can't alas) Terrific set of shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat Shot. Love the painter.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. THe shot of the painter is fun and interesting, the shot illustrating the elevation is astonishing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beyond words. The sun in the background adds just the right amount of light. I see he was wearing a winter hat. What was the temperature?
ReplyDeleteThis is great, As Julie said the focus is wonderful on the painter with the landscape out.
