The pink tinged sky expresses the coming of a new day upon an old – make that very old – landscape. The towers of ancient rock are in partial silhouette, but many of them show one wall reflecting the light of the coming dawn. I anchor the image I flowering sage. Although the entire foreground is in shadow, there is enough color in the rocks and plants to tease the imagination and arouse the emotions. It is a scenic vista, yet also my interpretation of this strange and colorful landscape.
