After shooting at the Strike Valley Overlook, we retreated back to the intersection of the the 4 wheel drive road and Burr Trail Road to shoot a window in a rock near that intersection.
I hiked along a stream bed to get better views of the window.
The window is so far away from this shooting area that it appears to be much smaller than it actually is, so the foreground scene dominates these wide angle shots.
I scrambled up a very steep slick rock slope to get the photo above and a few of the others here.
The canyon walls along the stream had some interesting texture and features.
Back at the open area around a parking area just off of Burr Trail Road, I looked for foreground objects to include in front of the distant window.
None of these shots turned out to be outstanding (although, I do like the vertical composition that I had to work hardest to get, climbing a steep slope), so we abandoned this area and headed towards an area overlooking Strike Valley above the Burr Trail Switchbacks, hoping to get there before the sunlight disappeared.
More on that in the next post,
