Pointing toward Independence

Independence Monument

One from the (recent) archives: this is from my first and only visit (to date) to Colorado National Monument on the last day of 2008.

Just stumbled across it while sorting through some images and quite liked it on seeing it once more. I wish I’d hung around to catch some more frames of this composition as the sun rose and started to light Independence Monument proper.

However, if I had I guess I wouldn’t have had this shot, which on balance I think I like better.

It’s a fantastic place to visit during winter, as is pretty much any sandstone location where you can shoot fresh snow against red rock during low angled winter sun!
