Another Beautiful Sunset in Red Canyon Utah

Sunset in Red Canyon Utah
The last minutes of sunlight cast a warm glow on the beautiful landscape. This is my favorite time to photograph. The fun part is trying to be in the right place at the right time. |
The same photo worked nice as an infared landscape. I liked them both equally as well, so I thought that I would share them both. |

Bristlecone Pine
When I took the photograph of this old Bristlecone Pine, one of my favorite poems came to mind. |
Good Timber
The tree that never had to
fight
For sun and sky and air and
light,
That stood out in the open
plain
And always got its share of
rain…
Never became a forest King.
But lived and died a scrubby
thing.
The man who never had to
toil,
In facing challenge did
recoil,
Who never had to win his
share
Of sun and sky and light and
air…
Never became a manly man,
But lived and died as he
began.
Good Timber does not grow
with ease.
The stronger wind, the
stronger trees.
The farther sky the greater
length,
The more the storm, the more
the strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and
snows,
In tree or man, good timber
grows.
Where thickest stands the
forest growth
We find the patriarchs
of both…
And they hold the converse
with the stars
Whose broken branches show
the scars
Of many winds and much
strife…
This is the common law of
life.
