Temple of the Sun at day’s last light
Click here to view a previous post on the night sky. This place, located on the Cathedral Valley Loop in Capitol Reef National Park will remain one of my favorite places in all of Utah. The beauty of this region of the country is simply astounding.

First Light, Temple of the Moon
Mules Ears Flowers and Temple of the Moon
And then it was time for the rising of the sun, or as a friend who spent the summer in Utah refers to it, the death orb. That meant it was time to move on down the road, and drink lots of water…

One feels so small in front of Nature’s majestic naked beauty. Beautiful pictures that makes you feel like stepping in the picture without disturbing the environment! Thanks
Appreciate the kind words, thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed them…
it feels like a place of worship
indeed. it caused me to worship that morning…
These are fantastic works of art, that capture the moment that will never again happen the exact same way. Thanks for sharing your work.
Appreciate that Bob! I often remember that, that though a place has been photographed before, it has never looked that exact same way.
Capital Reef was my favorite of the Utah parks, in part because there were no other visitors there when we went. (Zion, Bryce and Arches were overrun.)
Death Orb. Love it. Great photos.
Thanks, and I fully agree with you on that count!

Beautiful work. They almost look otherworldly, don’t they?
They do, indeed they appear to be ancient temples of some sort.
