The Shafer Trail in Canyonlands National Park, on New Year's Day, 2009. I've learned to appreciate days with high, thin clouds; sometimes they catch fire like this just after the sun goes down. This is a tough spot to photograph in direct light at sunset, as the canyon tends to get lost in deep shadow. Add the magical snow-covered north slopes of the winter season to the soft pink light and it made for a beautiful few minutes.
