One of a handful of perennial streams that originate in the nearby LaSal Mountains, Onion Creek meanders through some of the most convoluted geology in this already convoluted land. Toward its upper end, where its water is clean and sweet, it darts through the sheer-walled, claustrophobic canyon that imprisons it, like a convict making a jailbreak. Mid-way, its flow is met by the belch of Stinking Spring, and thereafter its bitter and foul. Toward its end, where it finally escapes furtively into the Colorado River, it sneaks through the low rolling hills and outcrops of Professor Valley, watched over closely by the soaring cliffs of the Top Of The World and its sentinels, Fisher Towers.

Both of these images were masterfully done. Thanks for the narrative too Jim.

Jim, fantastic set of photos again. Love the detail in DDLs along with the descriptions of what we are about to see.

You have a special skill to change ordinary photographs into exceptional ones. More good work.

Cany, your shots are wonderful as the always are! I do have a question please regarding photo one. Those trees in the shot. I noticed many of them, dead some years ago when I was in Utah and have wondered since what kind of trees they are. Perhaps there were many there alive also that I did not find so noticeable (hey they cannot have always been dead) but saw many, all dead when I was there. Wondering what species they are and if there is any particular unusual story behind them. Thanks,
Tom

Love your perspective in both of these, but neither measures up to your descriptive narrative. Maybe you should take up writing as well?
