From out the gaping maw
First rays of sunshine
The vista at sunrise through Mesa Arch:
This is a somewhat low-key shot from a series in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Love the rays, though…

Keeping an eye on the neighbors
Looking down-canyon from Tower Point in Hovenweep National Monument:
We’re fortunate to have some good friends down in the four corners region, so occasionally when we drive down to visit them, we all take a side-trip to see some of the ancient ruins in the “neighborhood.” Hovenweep is one of the more off-the-beaten-path groupings, but once you drive there you’ve got some nice hikes waiting for you. Most of the sites are on a 2 mile self-guided trail that loops around Little Ruin Canyon — lots of great views, but make sure you take water!
