The image below was inspired by
http://www.utah3d.net/panoramas_4/junction-butte.html ; a photo taken somewhere in this vast wonderland. I've taken many trips from the Midwest to hike this land and must say that by comparison, it offers more views of wide open spaces - something you rarely see back east.
Using TG2 to graphically emulate such areas has come a long way; and, will no doubt improve in the coming years ahead. I probably could have made a separate image depicting the atmosphere with a lower sun and merging the two in Photoshop to more closely duplicating the lighting you see in the above link. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Canyonlands National Park covers a vast area of rock wilderness in southeast Utah, centered around the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers. Over millions of years, the rivers and their small tributaries have carved the flat sandstone rock layers into many amazing forms with a wide range of colors. The 530 square miles of the park contain countless canyons, arches, spires, buttes, mesas and a myriad of other spectacular rock formations. The Grand Canyon may be deeper and more dramatic at first sight, but Canyonlands National Park has greater variety, both in the types of geological formations and the possibilities to explore them. It is certainly much easier to find solitude and isolation.
