in Arches National Park:

 
Love that ultra blue sky against that orange rock.  Did you use a polariser filter on that one?

That's just how it looks, Mike.
 
Thanks for the pics, bat. So many unique landscapes in the West, and I love the desolate beauty of Eastern Utah.
A wonderful place to clear your head. Bad place to run out of gas, though. I remember one road trip when we passed Grand Junction on the way to Salt Lake. Gauges looked good, and we should make Green River easy.
About twenty miles West of Junction, the gas gauge drops to empty. WTF!. My wife casually mentions the gas gauge doesn't work( we were in her car, and I'm thinking this is a bloody fine time to find out about this.) As you well know, there is nothing out there. Well, we did make Green River, but the car was gasping, running on fumes.
Anyhow, I still love the area.
I like the shot with my favorite corner of Colorado in the background, too.

What an awesome place! I love the desert, the canyons and badlands... I love the west. It has been a while for me..  need to go back. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
 
 
Man... you should have written "Gonzo" on the rock with all the prehistoric drawings!
