Figure 1. Forest and Cliff, Bryce Canyon National Park.
Bryce Canyon National Park is famous for its rock formation called hoodoos. These hoodoos cluster in the amphitheater and can be enjoyed from some overlook such as Sunset Point and Bryce Point.
While hoodoos can be seen in the southern part of the park as well, they are not in a dramatic way like those in the amphitheater. In this region, the view is more expansive and people get a better sense of remoteness.
Most people are focused on the amphitheater for the main features hoodoos. This time I decided to spend more time somewhere else. This shot was taken at a pullout near Rainbow Point. Many national parks offer lots opportunities of panoramic views. A picture of this kind may not be as powerful as the view enjoyed on the site. One reason is the lack of focus points and that's the case in this region.
Fortunately, I found a good composition on this spot when the lighting favors. In the summer afternoon, the clouds tend to build up and then break. The transition offers the chance of interesting lighting. To take advantage of this, I stayed there for probably half a hour and got some shots. This is not a typical Bryce Canyon picture, but I like it.
