This is the Mystical Zion In Winter, I lensed this mysterious looking image of Zion National Park while flying over Mount Shunberg in February.
The scale of this image is vast, each little dot on the mountains in the lower foreground is a large conifer tree. The bleeding color protuberance on the right side of the image is the Eastern Temple. The vermilion colored mountain in the distance on the top left of the image is called Red Butte. You are looking a distance of 60 miles across the mountains.
It was exceedingly cold on the day I took this image, because I fly with the window open all the way so I can swivel and shoot though the open air, the cold is tremendously biting.
I am geared up for it with the proper clothing, my fur hat and very good gloves, but when I am in contact with the slipstream from the propeller wash it exasperates the intensity of the cold and permeates every pore of your body.
I love the colors of this image. Taken in the late afternoon after the sun has set, the alpenglow effect glows with a bluish hue that mixes with the auburn, umber and magenta-vermilion colors of Zion. It is very cold and windy as evidenced by the curling clouds above the majestic formations.
This is a 30" x 60" inch print on specially prepared aluminum. These unique prints are super lightweight and easy to hang. Also available on acrylic and framed with all sorts of very cool materials and styles.
This print reproduction provides an awesome window into the stunning wilderness of Zion National Park and is certainly not an image you can simply walk up the path or even climb a mountain to attain.
This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.
Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.
