Temple of the Moon Sunset, 19 February 2015

            Just as the sun went down behind the Temple of the Stars the Temple of the Moon really lit up, it lasted less than 60 seconds.
I've been to the Temple of the Moon well over 100 times but rarely at sunset, in the summer it's too late in the day for my tours. I've been here many times for sunrise but of course the other side of the monument is lit in the morning.

Lower Cathedral Valley, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

Pictures from the first Cathedral Valley tour of the year, driving/guiding for Back Country Outfitters in Torrey.

I adjusted the lighting levels a little on this picture as it was over-exposed but I did not increase the saturation at all.
