Story

Captured on October 2, 2010, this landscape image looks from Dragon Point on South Rim Road into the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The composition follows the winding Gunnison River through a deeply incised gorge, while fractured gray-brown rock, distant ridges, autumn color, and a clear blue sky create strong visual depth. Deep shadow across the lower canyon contrasts with sunlit rock surfaces and small areas of vegetation.
