MONDAY, APRIL 17th


Our day in Zion National Park was under an unfortunate bland, grey "nothingness" cover.
But sometimes a blatant contrast was evident, even without texture or color in the sky.
Of course, one does not always need a brilliant blue sky, but opportunities for photographs
are disappointing when there is a wash-out, without even clouds:


My impression was of massiveness all around:

This was the beginning to a trail back to "The Grotto";
The waterfall at "The Grotto":
At "The Grotto":
A hint of blue sky?  It was gone in a shutter-click:
Some contrasts under the bleak sky:

The Court of the Three Patriarchs:

This interesting sky looks like I did some photoshopping - nope;
just a momentary backlight in the moody atmosphere:

We never did get wet, and it was plenty warm.
This is the view from the place we decided to pull up some boulders and
have our picnic lunch:
This is the waterfall at "Weeping Rock". 
We opted to take the steep walk to go behind the falls:


Almost there:
From under the falls at "Weeping Rock":
It was refreshing!

A last look back at contrasting colossals:

Temple of Sinawava, taken through vehicle window:
Appropriate shot for the last pic of the day, myself and Jo:
( I made it small because it is from a different camera with different pixels)
