Capital Reef Rim Overlook Peaks

Capital Reef Rim Overlook Peaks

Along the trail up to the Rim Overlook was this spur nestled about with Utah Juniper that point upward to a butte in the distance. I took this photo because I noticed that the junipers provided a gap between the suggesting a path that lead upwards to the overlook peak that I was hiking to. I also like the dark stones in the front right corner that act to balance the picture with the clouds peaking on the left.

Looking Back On Rim Overlook To Mt Pennell

Looking Back On Rim Overlook To Mt Pennell

While hiking the Rim Overlook trail I noticed that at a certain elevation close to the overlook area you could see Mt Pennell in the far ground unobstructed by the Capital Reef terrain. This is perhaps the photo I like the best from my trip to Southern Utah. I like how you are lead in the photo to mountain in the far ground. What I don’t like is that balance is a bit weighted to the left. This shot was taken from a hand held position while hiking.
