Rusty's Mountain

I don't actually know the name of this mountain, but it seemed fitting.

We just got back from Cedar City. We go down every year for the summer Shakespearean Festival. We try and see as many plays we can, but it seems like with our new daughter and new jobs, we have less and less time. Anyway, we have our favorite places to eat while down there. One of the tops is Rusty's Steak house up Cedar Canyon (east of out of Cedar City towards Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon). When we got there, the mountain behind the restaurant was just calling to be photographed. Unfortunately, the left part of the sky was burned out due to the sun behind the clouds.

Secret Falls

A few weeks ago, a few of us from work took a long lunch break for another quick photo walk. This time it was up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Right at the "S" bend, there is a trail head. Off to one side is a small stream. a few hundred feet up the stream is this waterfall. We got there at the wrong time of day. The entire waterfall section was encased in shadows. Mixing the HDR images allowed me to get the brights and the darks into the one image.
