La Sal Mountains, Utah |
I took this photo on my first visit to Arches National Park in the deserts of Utah. The clouds scattered just so, leaving their shadows to dot the desert floor. The peaks of the La Sal Mountains jut above the stark tree line to face the onslaught of sunlight, wind, rain, and snow that will inevitably batter them through the seasons.

Majestic; textured; stark; vivid; rugged; beckoning
Haiku
Sunlit desert where
Clouds swarm, sage dots, sand spreads forth;
Mountains capped, not bowed.
