I got done with work early today, and tried to get a shot of an interesting rock formation near here. Nothing came out like I hoped it would of that, and I wandered up the hill just seeing what else I might come across. The setting sun just made a beautiful mess of this hillside. The sagebrush had all sorts of colors going on in them, the straw grass was a glowing hue of gold, and even the dead scrub oak was pretty with the dead brown leaves.
It all only lasts a few minutes, then it changes to something else as the sun moves on. They're magical moments, to be sure.
Very unusual dark brown foliage on the hill, not1word, it makes a beautiful pattern, in layers with the golden grass. I had a look on the map, and whereas i thought it looked as though this house was miles away from anywhere, it's only just out of town, isn't it?
I like the way you made the photo tall and thin, it accentuates the layers, culminating in the peak in the background.
Still astonished at how near the mountains are to the town below, it must be such a dramatic place to live. I'd be constantly gazing up to the mountains, and wishing I was up there, instead of down in the streets, but that's just me. I hate crowds and noise!
I took a few from this spot, and I was hoping that one of the horizontal shots would come out, but as you noticed, the vertical alley aspect of this works out best.
The collection of cities that run north to south at the western edge of this range is called the Wasatch Front. Every town has this rather unmissable looming presence at its back, and it really is quite impressive. Denver's mountains are taller, but they sit back so far that one loses some of the sense of presence that Utah's range offers with its closeness. One gets used to things in life, but I do try and look at the mountains with fresh eyes as much as possible. Seasons, time of day, weather conditions and all manner of other moment to moment things change the look constantly, so they're hardly ever boring.
Thanks for enjoying this so much. That's half the fun, sharing what we think is neat, and others being able to wander in and out and take a look.
