Southern Utah has an incredible diversity in geography, geology, and nature. So, when traveling on a road called Hells Backbone Ridge, it's entirely expected to see some harsh, rugged scenes, despite the fact that much of the road traverses the beautifully lush and verdant Dixie National Forest.

At, just about 8,900' of elevation the Hells Backbone Bridge straddles a steep canyon of the Box-Death Hollow Wilderness. By comparison to the forests along the slopes of Boulder Mountain, this area is exposed to the elements, which range from 100°F days like this, in early June to blistering cold, windy, unforgiving days in winter. The trees, therefore, are exceptionally hardy, growing in twisted shapes to withstand the extreme elements.

This specimen probably survived several decades before succumbing to a lightning strike, I suppose. There was no sign of the broader destruction one would equate with a greater forest fire nearby. Despite a violent end, it's clear that...

My goal has always been to capture moments that inspire me so that I can share them with others. I have been fortunate to have several selections of my work recognized in print and in competition. I am predominantly drawn to images of beautiful landscapes, glorious sunrises and sunsets, impressive cities, impressive architecture and feats of engineering, and awe-inspiring nature. I try to remain faithful to the moments I have experienced, with only 'natural' enhancements in post-processing, though you will also find monochromatic images here. I hope that the moments I share here speak to you. I am open to suggestions, ideas, and feedback you might have about future content offerings. Dan
