Every single shot that I have taken of the reservoir has been from the eastern side. I have known that there was a route to the western banks, but until this photo, I was too encompassed with the eastern side. It wasn't until I finally went over there that I realized what I was missing.
There are foothills to goof around on, inlets and coves, trails galore and sandstone. Beautiful, red sandstone. The formations are outstanding and give a new vibrancy to the natural elements I try and capture.
So, being pleasantly surprised on my first journey to the west side with the sandstone, a wonderful, vivid sunset this evening was that much better. And, for the first time, I could face east and still have water in the image for a reflection.
Another colorful sunset filled with shouts of a happy photographer.
And yes, there was truly that much color cast over the land. I don't think I have ever witnessed so much diffusion from a cloud before. Spreading that much color across the land. It truly was a sight to behold.
I hope you all enjoy this photo as much as I did taking it.
Really awesome shot, Jake! Glad you took the chance and headed to the other side. The cloud and color are truly amazing...so happy you were there, camera in hand, to witness it!
