A monochrome version of Horseshoe Bend. I posted a color horseshoe bend pic a couple of weeks ago. This is not an identical comp, it was taken from a different (and less precarious) perch that provided a bit more angle on the river.
I keep thinking I am coming to the end of the postable photos from my New Years trip to Nevada/Utah/Arizona with friends
Kevin Benedict and
Josh Krasner, but then I keep finding "one more thing" that I like enough to work on. Sometimes monochrome shots reveal detail and beauty in landscapes that appeal greatly to me. I particularly liked the "oily" look of the water in this picture. The monochrome also lends a sense of the timelessness of this classic western US landscape.
