We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt…

One of my favorite shots from our last road trip to Utah, almost exactly a year ago. We took this shot on our last day at Bryce Canyon National Park at the famous Sunset point. A snowstorm which shut down most of the Nation park had just cleared the area, and we were the only people here during sunrise that day. Despite the extremely slick trail, we decided to brave the cold and venture into the hiking trail to get close to the stunning Hoodoos and Thor’s Hammer formations.

I didn’t get a good shot of the mighty Mjolnir that day but this one and another shot which I posted some time ago captured the sense of the scene and the grandeur of the park wonderfully. Hopefully, I'd get a chance to come back and get the beauty of this park under better weather conditions.
