The Lord of Leisure1 Photo Gallery
Zion Canyon[Click on graphic for view of larger image]
Editorial Note: It’s a cold, windy, wet, overcast day here in the outermost frontiers of Chicagoland. The post I had planned to publish today lacked the luminosity necessary to counterbalance the local meteorological conditions. Lord of Leisure’s startlingly vivid Zion Canyon photos,2 however, are more than a match for the weather and are capable of brightening any day.
Lord of Leisure writes:
This shot was taken in fading light near dusk. The overhanging rock allows one to trek behind the waterfall in the photo. The distant canyon wall reflects enough sunshine to backlight the falling water and illuminate the red maple in the center of the scene.
This was a long exposure that required a sturdy tripod and an equally sturdy Hippie With Tiara, to whom I am grateful for not only accompanying me but helping lug said sturdy tripod3 for many hours on these expeditions.
Footnotes
- Lord of Leisure was previously known in these posts as Mr. Science. Both Lord of Leisure and Mr Science spend most of their time disguised as Neil Ellis, mild-mannered, retired teacher at a great suburban school system, who can identify a bird by its call, complete the New York Times Friday Crossword in ink, and snap a heck of a photo. These days, he is also a very happy Mizzou football fan.↩

- ”Sturdy” in the context of “sturdy tripod” can be translated as “heavy, bulky, and awkward”↩
