The Wave

Uploaded: November 11, 2005

Description

Photographed in the Coyote Buttes region of the Utah-Arizona border with a Nikon D100 and Nikkor 28-200 zoom, settings unknown. Image processed with saturation, levels and unsharp mask in Photoshop CS. The world has discovered the Wave. On my last visit, I met four folks from Canada, who had spent a week entering the pass lottery for the chance to see this, and a gentleman who came from Germany just to see it. The German gentleman said it was "the most beautiful place I've ever seen." I couldn't argue with him.
