Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Woke up early this morning to be at Bryce Canyon for Sunrise, it was well worth it. The Hoodoos appear to glow from the first rays of Sun. May 2015
A Hoodoo is a tall, spindly structure that forms within sedimentary rock and protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos form over millions of years of erosion in areas where a thick layer of soft rock is covered by a thin layer of hard rock. Over time, hoodoos form as a small cap of the hard layer protects a cone of softer rock underneath from erosion.
Hoodoos can be a squat 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall or soar to 150 feet (45 m). Depending on the minerals found within the different rock types, hoodoos often have lively color patterns.The hoodoos of Bryce Canyon are found in the park's horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.

Seeing this excellent capture of Bryce makes me want to paint it someday, Donna. The Hoodoos do look like they are glowing from within! FAV / like

Great lighting you've captured in this shot, Donna. Bryce is one of my top parks, as it is beautiful to shoot morning, day, evening and at night.
