In this part of Zion Canyon the Virgin River maybe a little difficult to locate in the fall. The area is quite level with dense bushes, tall trees, level terraine and low water allowing rather aimless meandering.
I've tried to convey that mood by softening lines, values and colors. Even the normally hard looking canyon walls have been softened to match the mood on the canyon floor.

Zion Canyon is part of The Zion National Park in Utah. Normally the canyon is only open to the tour buses during the peek tourist months, but starting October 31st they open it to all passenger traffic. That is when the artists and photographers flood the canyon, as they are then able to stop any place and do their thing.
This scene is a hiking trail near the summer housing for employees. The cabin I did import from the small town of Virgin, just outside of the park.
