Valley of the Gods

San Juan County, Utah view map

*** Best view at original size ***

A wide angle scene from a windy sunrise in southeastern Utah. Dan, David
Glenn and I all had a tight hold of our hats and tripods as we traipsed across
the valley floor to get that golden sunrise light on the sandstone buttes.
This is a merge of three exposures for HDR, cropped for a pano comp.
