Purple Mountains Majesty... - a photo on Flickriver

            Believe it or not, the color in this photo is altered within 5% of the original capture.  The light and the shadows of the American desert are part of it's mystery and incredible beauty.

This is in central Utah, just northwest of the "Four Corners" area.  Enlarge to full screen to appreciate the detail.

They tell me the place is called Factory Butte.
