Late afternoon light filters through the cloudy sky and falls upon Adobe Mesa and the La Sal Mountains.

I witnessed this amazing sunrise over the Fisher Towers as I drove to Moab in search of rock art a few weeks ago. It was a great way to start the day!

New Years Eve | Saturday, December 31, 2011

We finally made it…the last trip of the year 2011! On New Years Eve morning I met up with Marty in Green River so that we could head over to the San Rafael Reef and Desert to search for some new rock art sites.

Marty and I on our way to the San Rafael Reef.

After searching Straight Wash in the Reef for some petroglyphs, this is the only one we managed to find this time.

I headed back up into the Colorado National Monument this evening to get a few photos of Independence Monument since I realized I didn’t have any good ones.

After my successful sunrise at Marlboro Point, I decided to head back to the Colorado National Monument for sunset to see if I could get lucky again. It wasn’t as spectacular as the sunrise, but there was a little color in the passing storm clouds just as the sun went down.
