Upper Negro Bill Canyon (near Moab, Utah) view map
Photographed during a hike from the radio tower in Sand Flats Recreation Area to a pour-off above the Porcupine Rim Trail near the Colorado River. Here I was about half-way to my destination. The creek---directly below me---made a pleasant gurgling sound.
Joe Tripod was on duty for this photo, holding my camera rock-steady.
Vern, Joe Tripod always appreciates being thought of, but he wishes to clarify that he does not take any pictures. Such a task is not part of his mission statement (“stand still and hold the camera”). I trip the shutter with an infrared remote control device.
John, thank you for that astute observation. I think I read about that in an article describing the Cooper Astronomical Observatory, an element of the International Space Station.
