While in Moab, Utah, my wife and I ventured down the Colorado River (despite the horrible, looming weather) just to find scenes like this one. The canyon walls were full of petroglyphs, but this image here really caught my eye.

    We left Oregon for a short vacation in Texas, and the weather followed us everywhere. But it sure did make for some great photographs.
