A frost-covered bush perches on the edge of a canyon, while clouds drift below. The setting sun lights up the canyon on the opposite side of the abyss. Taken during an inversion in Canyonlands National Park.

i was thinking the same thing.. snow + ledge = slippery ledge..
excellent work capturing this shot though, it’s beautiful..

How funny. It *does* look close, doesn’t it? I think some of that is the angle. As for the rest, well, all I can say is that it was pretty flat there, so slipping and/or tripping weren’t too much of a danger.

Wow. I really like how you composed this with a hint of warmth in the corner and the cool blue tones dominating the rest of the photograph. Great use of light.

This so reminds me of when we were at the Grand Canyon last November, Caryn. I felt like I recognized this, even though it is a different feel, with the snow and clouds. It’s beautiful!

Beautiful blue – like the tropical sea. The white icy bush is perfect in front of it.

Lovely photo, i had one In Colorado that was all frosty as well. The frost was also the cause of a 9 hour delay.
