Bryce City, Sunrise

(Click image to enlarge)

This photograph reminded me of a cityscape, with a street winding among various buildings, hence the title "Bryce City". The hoodoos in this photograph seem to glow from within. This is a fairly common phenomena early in the morning at Bryce, but it is not seen by many because looking toward the bright sun is uncomfortable. The sun is almost directly in front of the camera and the side of hoodoos facing away from the camera is lit directly. That light is reflected and warmed by the orange rock. The reflected light strikes the side of the hoodoos facing the camera producing a very warm glow.
