Alternate view of Horseshoe Bend

[Jameel Hyder]

One of the things I enjoy is looking at different views at a location and often find I like them more than the classic or popular views. This is one of them from Horesehoe Bend where the shapes and textures up close contrast with the overall expansive scene beyond.

C&C Welcome

Nicely seen Jameel - the cliffs along this bend in the river are quite colorful and present a wide variety of shapes. I like the bits of green on the talus slopes just below the cliffs.

Well seen Jameel. Those cliffs are very powerful statements to the erosive power of water.

I like the focus on layers of the rock.

I will be curious as to what it’s like to shoot there after all of the changes there.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments. I was there in the summer of 2019. Stopped by just to see what the fuss is about - I was driving from Phoenix towards SLC. It definitely was quite bad compared to my previous visits. Not something I'd be interested in doing. It may be different for sunrise when I expect a lot fewer people. The fencing around the perimeter also limits a lot of composition ideas.
