Sunrise at Dead Horse Point - Canyon Lands NP

in #ntopaz5 years ago (edited)

We had planned shooting sunrise at Dead Horse Point and documenting the brief spam of time when the sun beams travel through the sinuous Colorado river streams. Over millions of years that landscape was shaped. Over a fraction of a minute we would document it. Remote locations and summer nights are the ideal set of for a night of improvised camping around Canyonlands mesas. It coincided with the time of the year and the sort of traveling that water is scarce and our showers were made of meteors crossing the skies, watched over the trunk of a truck.

At dusk we set the tripod aiming at a dramatic charged cloud hovering nearby. Strong thunders and rainshowers not so far from our roofless sleeping spot. The colours of dusk, lighting the wind shaped clouds. Rain, thunders and 150million years of a dance between the Colorado river and the rocks.

As dawn approached and the sun started leaking through the horizon, blades of warm light started diagonally crossing the landscape, blending cooper colours with sunkisses golden sandstone. Double twilight zone day.
