As we approached the south end of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, we found ourselves in an area with stratified cliffs showing the geology of the area in spectacular views. This image was taken with my 75-300mm lens at 75mm focal length with an exposure of 1/800 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.

The top of this cliff has an interesting layer a few feet thick that differs from adjacent layers. This image was taken at 75mm focal length with an exposure of 1/1000 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.

A closeup of a few layers in a cliff wall. This image was taken at 75mm focal length with an exposure of 1/400 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.

Finally a view of the lake that fills the Flaming Gorge Recreation Area from the roadway at one of the scenic viewpoints. We could see boats and water skiers. This image was taken with my 24mm lens and an exposure of 1/125 seconds at f/11, ISO 100.

This last image shows a number of boats on the lake including one with a skier in tow. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/200 seconds at f/11, ISO 100.

The sign of a doom impending. Click the first sentence and view on large & black! This is my #1 image from the Brooke Shaden workshop. The place was amazing, and I knew I had to do something with these huge doors. Can't say I haven't been inspired by Full Metal Alchemist (again). *A close-up in the comments!

Bighorn Sheep

After leaving Yellowstone, we drove south, heading for Dinosaur National Monument. As we neared the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, I saw a car pulled off to the side of the road at the junction of a dirt road. A lady had her camera out so I grabbed mine and quietly walked up the dirt road and was treated to a group of Bighorn Sheep that she was photographing. Here are a few of them.
