Great capture, Denny! I was there about a month ago, and will post one or more from Dead Horse Point later. You got so great colors in this one, and wonderful clarity throughout the picture. What time of year, and day did you take this? I was there in the evening, to get some sunset shots. The sun disappeared behind the clouds before it set, but I got some decent shots, I think. #6010005

Thanks everybody for your kind comments!!!
Eivor, The photo was taken on 5/4/2006 at 6:48AM. It had been stormy for several days so the air was pretty clear.
John, I looked at your gallery and it`s great! Many people must see things the same way because I have carbon copies of many of your pictures. #6011192

Denny,
Beautiful shot. I have camped on a site just up-stream of this famous bend in the river a couple of times. It's incredible! Super Rainbow Trout fishing with the chance to see California Condors soaring overhead. Also one of the darkest places I have ever been at night. The stars are fantastic. Definately a must repeat for me. Thanks for reminding me. #6013604

OH and thanks for the chuckle on your skunk story, I don't think I would be as brave with baby skunks as I was with the raccoon's LOL! #6014559
