Old Fashioned Light - a photo on Flickriver

I've been partial to this photo for a long time, finally decided to post it here. Something about the light conditions and the massive red cliffs rising over the Virgin River gives this an old timey image quality to me. Seems like something the earliest explorers (and of course the indigenous peoples) might have seen exactly the same way hundreds of years ago. I must admit there's a little assist to the old timey feel created by a hint of smoke in the air as there were wildfires not too far away and the smoke drifted in and out of the canyon. This was taken from a section of the Narrows farther up past the Orderville Canyon split.

The Narrows is one of my all-time favorite hiking experiences and I was feeling pure joy as I explored the canyon with friends Kevin Benedict and
Josh Krasner. In fact, I was so excited by the combination of massive cliffs and fall colors that I might have run up ahead a little too recklessly and left some stragglers behind. Can't wait to visit Zion again!
