Shooting Lake Powell

I took about 500 pictures of Lake Powell, but they all tend to be the same thing over and over, and a lot of them are blurry. So here I give you the cream of the crop.

For example, I must have taken half a dozen pictures of this view at Slick Rock. I really liked it, but they all turned out too dark and trying to color-adjust removed more detail than it revealed. You know, little things like the sky. So here I just picked the best and ran with it.

Same thing happened here, but I kind of like it that way. *grin*

I took a lot of pictures from a moving boat and ended up with railings, or a few times the steering wheel. We won’t talk about the pithy comments my son made about my driving.

There were some great rock formations, strange things like this rolling hump thing. I’d give you the name of it, but my mother has the map. 🙂 It’s located a few miles south of Bull Frog Marina.

The map had all kinds of arches listed but most of them turned out to be proto-arches like this one. It’s hard to tell from this picture, but the rock seems to simply sheared off in arch shaped slabs. I suspect water has something to do with it, but the arches show up in high places as well as low.

And there were holes all over, some large but most itty bitty fist sized things.

Near as I could tell Lake Powell is all about wind, water, and rock. You can see the water and the rock. Now let me tell you about the wind…..

Sorry about the lack of commentary this morning. I posted at 1 am and just wasn’t all there.
