White Pocket Reflections

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Coconino County, AZ view map

*** Best view at original size ***

We were fortunate to have visited this fascinating area after a very wet Spring which
left many small, shallow pools. This was one of the larger pools and offered an
opportunity to catch a mirrored scene of the sandstone against a Monsoon sky.

This is a merge of four exposures for HDR, cropped for a pano comp.
