Canyonlands Revisited

Another from the Canyonlands series. I will admit that this composition doesn’t feel balanced to me, so it actually makes my jaw clench uploading this photo. The colors, however, make it all worthwhile.
Just over a month ago I posted the first image in this series and I also posted on Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s. Since then, I’ve become more and more impressed with their debut album The Dust of Retreat. Dress Me Like A Clown is a beautiful ode to dysfunctional relationships, and I think I’d be hooked by the “da das” in the final chorus alone. Named after Gwyneth Paltrow’s character (Margot) from The Royal Tenenbaum’s, this is a band that utilizes two drummers, two guitarists, a bassist, a keys player, a violinist, and some lap steel, glockenspiel, theremin, and melodica thrown in for good measure. This octet has been low on my radar for a long time, but is steadly working its way up with its chamber pop sound and layered production. The Dust of Retreat = Highly Recommended.
Beautifully shot! That’s one of my favorite areas that I wish I had more time to get back to more frequently. I agree with you about the composition though. It kinda feels cut in half. If I were to crop it I might say sacrifice some of the sky. But it still looks stunning!
wow great impressive view!
Cool effect the sunlight and the shadows in the canyons make. You’re right the colors are WILD!
