Bryce Canyon

National Parks have personalities. Many visitors flock the most visited, going from view point to viewpoint, with few realizing that most of the parks are a reflection of geology and climate.

Les parcs nationaux ont une personalité. Bien des visiteurs affluent dans les plus visités, passant d'un point de vue à l'autre, sans réaliser que les parcs reflètent leur géologie et leur climat. 
Bryce Point

Thus the personalities. While Bryce Canyon is on the same Colorado Plateau as Arches or Capitol Reef, it is unique: hoodoos and deep green conifer forests make the canyon amphitheatres a continually changing and extraordinary spectacle.

Ainsi, chacun a son caractère propre. Alors que Bryce Canyon est sur le même plateau du Colorado que Arches ou Capitol Reef, il est unique : aiguilles et forêts de conifères vert foncé font des amphithéâtres du canyon un spectacle sans cesse changeant et extraordianire.

From the morning light, to the awkward noon sun and to the softer late afternoon skylight, a photographer just need to be there, imagine and shoot.

De la lumière du matin au soleil intense du midi, à la douce luminosité de fin d'après-midi, le photographe n'a qu'à être là, imaginer et prendre une photo.

Looking a bit more to the right...or to the left... or in the morning... the shapes, colours, shadows and sky reveal vastly different perspectives,  all linked in great circle extending to the horizon and detailed sculptures carved with droplets of rain, snowflakes and frost.

En regardant un  peu vers la droite... ou la gauche, les formes, les couleurs, les ombres et le ciel révèlent des perspectives infiniment différentes, toutes liées dans un grand cercle s'étendant à l'horizon et aux sculptures minutieuses taillées par des gouttes de pluie, des flocons de neige et du givre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is easy to feel that the pictures are repetitive. Because they are. And the beauty in Bryce Canyon, is the repetition of similar patterns with subtle differences that makes you wonder if the rain droplets chose what to carve!

On a l'impression que les images se répètent. Et c'est vrai. La beauté de Bryce Canyon est justement dans la répétition de ces motifs similaires avec des différences subtiles qui font que vous vous demandez si les gouttes de pluie ont choisi ce qu'elles ont sculptés.

Nous n'avons pas commenté ces images... nous espérons qu'elles transmettent un peu de la beauté que nous avons découvert lors de notre deuxième visite à ce parc. (Cliquez ici pour voir la collection de nos deux visites 2012 et 2006).
