As our trip came to a close, we spent the last few hours in Canyonlands National Park, driving around the Island in the Sky. Pretty much every viewpoint or overlook you go to there offers an amazing view (hence the name
viewpoint I guess). While it was quite chilly and very windy that day, we were lucky to have slightly overcast skies. It made for some interesting shadows cast on the canyonlands below the overlook. I waited for just the right moment when most of the canyon rim was illuminated and took the shot. Again, a 2-stop GND filter was used to bring the exposure of the brighter sky down to match the canyon area.
