Thursday, February 21st was "day 8" of my Colorado-Utah trip. This day was actually spent in Wyoming and Nebraska on my way to Lawrence, KS. I left Rawlins early in the morning, stopping intermittently to photograph some of the snowy scenes along the interstate. The drifts against the snow fences that line the interstate were very impressive -- reaching 10 to 15 feet!

Wednesday, February 20th was "day 7" of my Colorado-Utah trip. I left Moab during the mid-morning hours and decided to take a route to Lawrence, KS via Northwest Colorado, southern Wyoming, and Nebraska. This album contains some images of snowy scenes across Northwest Colorado. It was a banner season for the Colorado Rockies for snowfall. Even the 6,000 foot elevations had impressive snow depths of 25 to 30 inches along Colorado Highway 30 from Meeker to Hamilton to Craig.

Wednesday, February 20th was "day 7" of my Colorado-Utah trip. This was to be my last day day in the Moab area, as I had to cut my trip short by a day due to an approaching snowstorm. I awoke very early to get to Dead Horse Point State Park to do a sunrise shoot there, but unfortunately, a thick layer of mid and high level cloud cover overspread the area. Nevertheless, I was still able to get some decent images at Dead Horse Point. I spent about an hour and a half shooting around here. I'd love to come back to this place in the late summer during the monsoon season!

Tuesday, February 19th was "day 6" of my Colorado-Utah trip. The afternoon hours were spent again at Arches National Park where I photographed more landscape scenics, especially many of the rock formations (pillars, fins, distant arches, etc) with the La Sal Mountains as a backdrop. I made good use of the telephoto lens to really bring the mountains into the various compositions. I also photographed extensively around Balanced Rock, both of the rock itself and the distant "Windows Section" in the good late afternoon light up against the mountainous backdrop.
