Zion - view 2 of Court of Patriarchs and Big Bend

[Vienna Pics]

View of the Court of the Patriarchs at Zion National Park, Utah - Abraham Peak (6890ft), Isaac Peak (6825ft), infront Mount Moroni (5690ft) and in the rear Jacob Peak (6831ft) Named for three towering figures of the Old Testament, these sandstone cliffs hold court over Birch Creek Canyon and this section of the Virgin River. In 1916 Frederick Vining Fisher, a Methodist minister, gave the religious names to the peaks. Note the cactus. Terrible overcaste = clouds....

Thank you Alex - this is a different view of the Court and I like the other shot - only if the sky had cooperated more.....

Mark -

Two very nice images. The sky/rock boundary looks very sharp in the second image - is this PP?

Very nice shots. I have a friend that lives in Utah and keeps telling me to come out to visit so we can go to Zion Park to hike around and take photos.

Hello Dave, I toned the contrast and saturation down on many of these - Mark
