The topic of geology immediately reminded me of my visits to some of our National Parks out west. I had long wished to see the famous Bryce Canyon hoodoos under a blanket of fresh snow, but hadn’t thought that was possible during my visit in the latter part of May, 2019. I was happy to find this lone sentinel standing by itself, away from the hundreds nearby. These geologic structures were formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks over thousands of years.

Technical Details
Is this a composite: No
Sony RX10M4, 56mm, ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/1000. Slightly cropped to enlarge hoodoo, and brightened shadow areas a bit.
This is really good, Jim. Love the interplay between the big trees, the hoodo and the hint of the back hoodo. The red and white contrast is beautiful. I could see cropping out some of the sky.
Nice one, Jim. This really stands out as a the red colors amongst the monochrome feeling of everything else. I’ve always wanted to catch Bryce in snow. Congratulations on your good luck with a spring snowfall. Very cool.
Jim, those hoodoos sure do stand out from all the snowy surroundings. What a great scene to experience and photograph. The heavy tree cover is not the “usual” view of Bryce.
