Holiday colors at Sky Pocket - a photo on Flickriver

            Here's another treatment of Sky Pocket on the Paria Plateau, fixed up a little with Topaz AI. The clouds are real-time authentic.

This magnificent spot was virtually unknown, in photographs at least, till I hiked to it in May 2017 and explored it from below and above. The discovery hike was posted on my YouTube channel.

Since my visit, a few other photographers have hiked there based on my photos and videos.  I returned to it in 2018 and 2019.

The spot requires a nearly 2-mile hike from the nearest road. Since my photos were all taken mid-day (see my skypocket tag), it remains to be seen what an adventurous photographer could do with this scene at first light before sunrise, or under the stars in moonlight. I bet it would be spectacular.

This was not the only highlight of the area. On subsequent hikes I found more and greater points of interest nearby. The whole area is an explorer's dream.
