I love our temperate zone alpine mountain intensely blue skies on clear days with dry air at higher altitudes. More common during spring and summer after cold front clearing sky days. And most likely about inland continental North American ranges far east and or west of Earth urban zones due to globe atmospheric curvature. From 2005 carrying a 4x5 view camera with Provia 100F film. Later drum scanned and LJ printed. Downsized for web herein.
Black Basalt Ball & Navaho Sandstone Dome
...The next morning we (2 of us) rose at dawn to a sunny day, packed up our road camping gear, and drove to a spot in ... Park I had used a decade earlier. We followed the class 3 route I had figured out in 1995. I had forgotten how difficult it was in places. There were not even signs of deer or desert sheep in the area. It was taking a bit more time than I'd hoped so we had to push in order to reach the dome before the sun got too high in the sky making light harsh...
...Light pastel Navaho Sandstone was deposited over a wide region from blowing sand during desert conditions about 200 million years ago during the Triassic Period. An age when early dinosaurs wandered, from which Utah has several important fossil sites. Notice in the foreground, mottled patterns of lichen painting the sandstone give the light rock a beautiful aesthetic. And some lichen patches have even colonized shady sides of the loose basalt rocks. The elevation here is a bit below 7,000 feet. At the right edge skyline, one can see white snow atop the volcanic 11,000 plus foot ... Plateau twenty miles west...
