Visited Zion National Park last week and dropped by Lake Powell Recreational Area to view the dam. They still have the 911 gitters and all of us were scanned and searched before we entered the visitors center located right above the Dam.

and the inclusion of the person to the extreme right gives a fine sense of perspective

it is a pity that 911 has changed matters for photographers, but I am delighted you were able to capture this fine structure

gorgeous photograph with fine details & subtle tonality ...a BW treatment might be fascinating

Thanks, Arthur.

 

It's even more breath-taking when you're there looking at it ... make sure you drop by there if you go to Page, AZ or Zion NP.

Thanks, Arthur.

You put me back in 1983 when I drove my BMW R100 motorcycle on that bridge, heading for California from NY City.

BTW, I still use that BMW.

Flavio,

 

Glad I can bring back good memories.

Arthur,

VERY good memories. I was 28, at that time and we drove for 14.800 km in 5 weeks going around USA from east to west and back, through nord and middle, national parks, lakes, big town and micro village. What a wonderful Country! Powell lake is one of my favorite as well as Yosemite, Yellowstone and Zion.

 

Thanks again, Arthur. I'll try to find out my old slides, buried somewhere in home.

Like the perspective showing the support elements of this bridge.

Your experiences reminded me of my younger days, too. When I was in graduate school doing my summer internship in NJ, I drove from Texas to NJ and back. It was quite a trip.

Impressive - both the photograph and the bridge!

I meant to add my admiration of this shot when you first posted it. Superb. The colours and sharpness are excellent.

Very good composition with the 50mm lens, I like how you framed it leaving just that little bit of foot hills at the top of the frame.

Azzo, Brian, Louis & Richard for dropping by to place your remarks.
