Butte-i-ful

Sorrel River Ranch, Colorado River Scenic Byway, Moab, Utah

Well, I managed to go cold turkey from posting any Moab photos for almost a week and a half, but I couldn't hold out any longer. This image of a butte on the Colorado River Scenic Byway has special meaning to me. Back in 2005, my son and I headed to Utah for a two-week trip to do some hiking and photography. The first place we stayed in was Sorrel River Ranch, and this was the scene that I saw when I walked out of our room there. This trip was great for two reasons. First and foremost, it was a great time to bond with him, as he had just graduated from college. Secondly, this is the trip that rejuvenated my passion for photography, which has only grown since then.

I wanted to reshoot this butte as the photo was edited poorly by me and the original JPEG has long left my computer's hard drive. I knew when I drove this gorgeous road and saw the golden light that the setting sun was casting, that this butte was my destination.
