The Scenic View View of Mesa and Canyon of the Indian Creek Corridor (Bears Ears National Monument)

            A view looking to the north at a roadside pulloff while driving along the Indian Creek Corridor Scenic Byway on my Way to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. To that this was an amazing and inspiring view might be an understatement! A wide open canyon and valley with towering mesas with their high cliff walls all around. It's one thing to see high mesas like this and be taken in with the view; it's another to capture it with those same views and not have them flattened out, especially with a wide angle view. So I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward including some of the nearby foreground still caught in the shadows. After some adjustment work with contrast and colors, I cropped a portion of the foreground and blue skies above for a more panoramic look to the final image.
