1990s
The arches at dawn, before the tourists and after the coffee
The canyon rim from the road, the whole plateau in one frame
Canyonlands from the overlook, the river hidden in the cut
The desert canyon and the far mesas, day twenty
Canyonlands vista under a clear sky, the best day
Dead Horse Point and the Colorado, from the edge
The sandstone cliff at Zion, the last week
Red cliffs at Springdale, the morning we left
The eroded sandstone at Moab under cloud, a rare gray day
The overcast canyon, the season's last slideA sabbatical spent walking the Colorado Plateau with a hammer and a hand lens. The only season where the rock did the talking and the ice kept quiet.
