Starting My Vacation Days in Mesa Verde National Park

            A setting looking to the south while taking in views across a grassy meadow to the sandstone and shale formation with Point Lookout in Grand Canyon National Park. This is at a roadside pullout along the main park road just inside the entrance. My thought on composing this image was to capture a look across this grassy meadow from some high ground I was located on and bring out a sweeping view, leading up to the Point Lookout formation, which I wanted more or less in the image center. The blue skies and clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
