Description
Virgin River, Zion National Park, UT
For 4-weeks during late fall, I lived alone inside Zion National Park hiking and photographing as the artist-in-residence for the National Park Service. Although daily temperatures had averaged 60°F (15°C) a surprise overnight storm covered the nearby mountains in snow. During the next 24-hours that melting snow flowed into the Virgin River that changed the water into a brilliant aquamarine color which almost perfectly mirrored the colors of the sky. [Photo 4032A]
