If you've read my previous posts, you'll know that I fell in love with Utah after a road trip there last year. Its breadth and topography left me gasping with awe at each turn of the road. In all my travels, I have never seen its like before...it is, quite simply, a photographer's dreamscape.

Among many possibilities on the trip, Utah offered endless opportunities for shadow shots. The light had a radiant quality, clear and unfettered, that spun swirls of shadows across the red soil and undulating rock faces.

It seems certain I will once more succumb to the call of these great canyons and cliffs

A special beauty all its own!
I love those gnarly trees - you're right, a photographer's dream! :)
Living in Utah I am constantly amazed at the beauty around me. You have a great eye and have captured a feeling of serenity.
So beautiful......can imagine you were mesmerized by the shifting shadows across the landscape. Dreamy photos.
I love your Utah photos, Lynette, and these shadow shots are perfect examples of your artistic eye and dedication to the photographic art.
We want to take a road trip this year, so that we don't have to leave our darlin' dog behind. Don't know where, but Utah would be a good choice, as I have learned from your example. Thanks!

A PARFAIT DAY
A seeker of shadows one day
Did trip as she went on her way;
She picked herself up
And dipped from a cup
Of shadowy lemon parfait!
