Yesterday
I needed a break from the desert heat of summer, and I knew just where
to go. When we left St. George, the temperature was 105 degrees,
(elevation around 2800 feet), and we ended up in Cedar Breaks National
Monument where the temperature was 65 degrees (elevation over 10,000
feet). A 40 degree temperature change in a little over an hour's drive!
Plus I get to see beautiful scenes like this! I love this little
corner of Utah!!
Modern cameras and sophisticated editing programs make it possible to
take photos in harsh, afternoon sunshine like this. Soft focus,
contrast and shadows adjustments needed on these bright, backlit
flowers.
