nice one, Harley!
Jonathan, Cpercy, David,
Thanks! I found Bryce Canyon difficult to photograph, and exposed very few sheets of film there. It reminded me of the Grand Canyon, in the sense that it is so completely overwhelming and fantastic that it's hard to figure out what to point your camera at. After awhile I kind of surrendered and just strolled around the rim watching the light change, which was rewarding in its own way. This was made in 2005-I'd love to go back.
I apologize if I've showed this one before, but for the people who haven't visited Bryce, it gives an idea as to the scale. If you could zoom into this picture, you would see that in the upper left hand corner (second light area down) there is a group of people staring over a railing. At this size they're like grains of sand! It would be cool to make a really big print of this. Anyway though, it's a humbling place for sure.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Its interesteresting that this shot seems to get the most positive reaction - at the time of shooting it I wasn't confident about it at all, almost didn't bother with it, but in retrospect I'm glad I did.
And then after opening the shutter a bunch of peole walked through the back of shot, but luckily the shutter speed was so long that you can't see them on film at all.
