Time for a new Brenda Photo Challenge! The theme is A View from Above. Our current challenge hostess, Charmine of Travel It's Fun, picked the theme. Thank you, Charmine! For this challenge, I am featuring some aerial pictures of the Lake Powell area, near Page, Arizona. In a couple of June 2008 posts, I shared other aerial photos of this landscape and also Monument Valley.
This shows the terrain to the south of Lake Powell, upon our return from Monument Valley. The photo was taken at f/7.1 and 1/200 second.

The escarpments around the Lake Powell coastline are quite dramatic. The camera settings were f/5 and 1/320 second.
In the foreground, an inlet snakes its way toward Powell Lake. The contrast in colors between the terra cotta topography and the deep blue water is quite spectacular from the air. The photo was taken at f/8 and 1/250 second.
Wow Beautiful photos! I love the Lake Poewll one!
ReplyDeleteOh My!!! I'm getting dizzy! Talk about high up!! Gorgeous country!!hughugs
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Lake Powell... I've seen it from a plane just briefly, but not like this. I assume these are taken from a plane or helicopter. Aren't these amazing? Such a stark, but beautiful landscape. Fabulous shots!
ReplyDeleteYes you are right! The contrast of terra cotta and blue is perfect!
