It's a great spot! You had smaller crowds and more flowers.

Just in case y'all needed a bunch of bison. I had to shoo them out of my back yard. How they got the gate open is beyond me.

Bison resting on grassy ground, with snow-covered hills in the background, captured in a serene black-and-white tone.

Stone house window at Cliff Dwellers, near Vermillion Cliffs, Arizona. 😎

The stone house was built in 1927 by a couple that was traveling through the area. Their car broke down on this spot, and they decided to make their home here, which later included a trading post and gas station. The original stone house still exists today.

This is an unedited image, straight out of camera jpeg. My edits normally consist only of exposure, sharpening/straightening, contrast where needed, but I don't think I'd ever be able to improve anything here. Sometimes the stars & planets really do align........
