USA - Utah, Bryce Canyon National Park

by Jaap van 't Veen
Bryce Canyon is not really a canyon, but a series of strange, naturally formed amphitheatres, carved into the edge of a high plateau. Its walls consist of sixty different layers of sand, limestone and slate. In the amphitheatres there are countless very irregular shaped rock formations in all kinds of shades, varying from white, pastel pink, fiery orange and red to dark red. These spires of rocks (called hoodoos) are caused by erosion.

The sight of these magnificent rocky pillars is absolutely spectacular, Jaap! The different shades in the columns make the view particularly attractive and liven up the picture. Your PIPS are also fantastic. I like PIP # 1 and PIP # 5 especially well!

By the way, the rocks, especially in PIP # 5, look like organ pipes for me. ;-)

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! :D *does back flips around the room*

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see this series of perfection. Most of all, I am so glad that you got to visit Bryce, because I consider it my very favorite park of all. Nowhere that I know of can you walk in such an alien place. It is so incredible, so breathtaking, so beautiful and so unique. I have dreamed of returning since becoming a photographer so that I can share this vision and explore through my lens this mind-bending place.

Your pictures are perfect and outstanding--you have shown Bryce at its finest and it is just so wonderful to see through your eyes the amazement of this place.

Totally, utterly delighted. :)

I wonder...did you also get to visit Arches? I HOPE!!!
