Desert sky
Dream beneath the desert sky
The rivers run, but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight

And so I arrived in Utah. These images were made on my first couple of hours in the state. Initially I’ll be posting some iPhone photographs as they’re quicker to edit and in due time I’ll get to the images made on the DSLR. I hope you enjoy these and I look forward to sharing more.
nomadruss in words and photos 
excellent composition , lead line takes the eye through the image easily
thank you sir.
Beautiful photos! I can’t wait to take that road trip out west someday! 😀
I wish I could just keep traveling the west and not stop!
Utah is beautiful. Hope you have time to visit Arches National Park outside of Moab. You could take some wonderful photos.
Utah is beautiful and I’ve certainly got Arches on the list of places to visit. I have a real aversion to photographing places that are over-photographed, so I’ll have to try something unique.
very beautiful
thank you!
Love these, Russ, particularly the Utah sign!
I’m glad to know that, I wasn’t sure if I’d include that one, so now I’m glad I did!
Beautiful photo!
Thanks!
Very nice! I’ve never been in Utah, but I’ve seen and photographed many a desert. Hard and desolate places. But by increasing the grain (or is this because its taken with an iphone? -either way…), you gave the landscapes more nostalgic emotion and reduced its hardness.
Thanks for the in depth look! The graininess is mostly due to the processing on the iPhone. They’re smaller files, so when edited the graininess comes out. These were primarily edited with Snapseed and then through Instagram.
Thanks, and yes, the grain is increased when I edit on the iPhone. And Utah is truly an incredible place.
Amazing! I’d love to do a road trip through the US and these photos sum up exactly how I imagine it to be!
You’re too kind, thanks!
Amazing! Utah definitely has some incredible scenery! Glad you were able to take it in and enjoy!
Utah does indeed, it’s almost surreal at times. Thanks for dropping in!
