Hello Way,
the warm light is so lovely and brings a relaxing energy to this fascinating site anyway. I like very much how you have exalted the mesmerizing atmosphere and colours created by the light, using a shady foreground as a natural frame and an intriguing, contrasting skyscape as backdrop. Your picture has a magnetic power indeed. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Ciao Way
un luogo fantastico, le formazioni rocciose sono fantastiche e la luce è splendida, ne mette in risalto le forme e riscalda i colori.
Saluti

Sabaidee Way
Great you posting again!
Wow Way what a magical place, this is gorgeous beauty of mother nature and really are amazing to see. You chose an excellent view-point to include the lovely bit of interest in the foreground shades with lovely sky and clouds formation to hold together. That's not only a wonderful formation, it's the glorious low warm light when you get that in an exotic location, is real gem. For me personally that's a shot to die for..... Remarkable capture, Congrats
Thanks to your useful narratives.
Best wishes

Hi Way
That is an awesome photo!! The rocks themselves would make the most beautiful subject but to catch it under this light and with those threatening clouds makes this really stand out. Fantastic shot, really nicely done
Cheers

Hello Way,
It's nice to see one of your marvels of nature again. You have been away a long time. The incredible rocks and quite fascinating clouds are all enhanced by the warm light and the fine contrasts. One can only feel deep respect for this kind of scenery, even if there is no spiritual power to be found here.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Way,
Very impressive rock formations, so impressive that they're compared with a cathedral.
Attractive composition in different horizontal layers.
I like the strong contrast between the orange sunlit rocks and the strip of deep blue sky.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Way,

First thank you for your comment on my photo, it is always most welcome.

Beautiful photo of this rock formation in the Arizona desert. The clay-colored rocks sunlit form an amazing contrast with the blue sky.

This should be a place full of history, it is very reminiscent of the scenes that we see in the movies the old American West.

Greetings from Brazil.
