Mornings Glory

Lady Mountain
Zion National Park, Utah

Zion in the winter is the prime time to shoot the canyon – the visitors are few, the road is open to the public and the sunsets are stunning. The only problem is that it takes great dedication to get the shots because it can be down right FREEZING!

I felt very fortunate to catch this shot. Limited cloud cover for the morning did mean that the sunrise was rather dull but, then again, there was nothing blocking the sun. This allowed Lady Mountain to become absolutely saturated in warm morning sunlight!

With the complimenting tree framing the mountain, all the elements worked together nicely to make a pleasing image!
