Utah in black and white

Landing in Utah this past summer was felt like discovering an alien world. My first memory while flying over the state was the dramatic reddish color of the Great Sale Lake. But from an airplane, all of the nuanced shifts in color, and play in light and shadow go unoticed.

It was later, as I began to drive through the landscape that I discovered the true magic of the place: amber stones of all shapes, sizes and textures going as far as the eye can see, stacked against clear turquoise skies.
