Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce National Park is one of my most favorite. I was stunned immediately when I saw the rows of rows and hundreds of hundreds of hoodoos standing in front of me. They are all in the same shape, but wait, they are all in different shapes. When looking at each individual one, from different angle you would find the hoodoo shows different personalities. What a natural wonder! In winter when snow covered part of hoodoos, the white and red somehow mix together, Plus little bit green from fir trees...

This time in the lower part of Bryce the weather was pretty while in the upper part the snow flakes were flying. It was very chilly. The snow on the ground was more than 3 feet tall at the top part of the park. Compared to my last trip, some trails are closed due to snow or collapsing hoodoos . The Hoodoos seems very fragile and on the trail I could hear and see rocks falling down. I believe the whole Utah should have no earthquakes. Or most of beauties of those national parks in Utah would no longer exists.

Hope you guys will enjoy my photos. Thanks!

So-called Natural Bridge, actually I found couple of them but this one is closest to the road and easiest to be watched

Thick snow piled up at the top of Bryce.

Thanks!

what is "vibrance"? I usually do little on my photos. Only trimming, changing the exposure, changing saturation or changing the contrast would be used if I thought the photo need some repair or polish. I'm really a beginner on PS.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yeah, the snow photo's white balance and exposure was not so good. It was very cold and started snowing when I took this photo. I just wanted to keep a record on the snow at that time. That photo was an original.

How about this? I raised the exposure and trim it a little bit.

Please leave yourself 2 hours to have a short hike over there. You could enjoy the beauty of nature among those hoodoos.
