Big Boulders near Big Water

[Michael13]

Just a stone's throw away from the big city of Big Water, Utah, these boulders tumbled down the 1000' cliffs to the North and stopped in some very unique poses.

I am guessing there was a lot more to the rock the big one is balanced on when the big one first tumbled down. Neat contrasts between the layers in this scene.

What a crazy looking image! Great eye Michael. That cloud movement is really sweet too.

An amazing balancing act. Nice viewpoint to capture this and the long exposure with the clouds makes this even more intriguing.

Thanks guys! I thought this boulder was the most interesting of them all. It was also the hardest to photograph as it was much closer to the cliff, making it harder to isolate against the sky. I am standing on two separate rocks tilted at a 45 degree angle, to place the camera as low as possible. Thank God for tripods, I could never have hand held this!

Very well done and thought out. Good decision to use a longer shutter speed on this one.

Just wild, like a modern art piece hanging out in nature ; )

Thanks Oliver.
I wouldn't want to be around during the storms that create this jumbled arrangement!

What a find…and what a shot! Very nice.

Thanks John.
This one is only 100 feet off the road, so it's been photographed a time or two I'd say. It's got an interesting shape for sure!

Thanks Kurt.
An old man's back hurt for awhile after making this. Worth it this time!

Thanks Jordan. I know, and these masterpieces are just laying around waiting to be photographed!
