First Light
White Pocket, Vermillion Cliffs NP
With cloudy skies and a rainbow across the Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness in Utah as a background, the first direct rays of sunrise strike some of the taller formations at the White Pockets on Paria Plateau in Arizona. The lower elevations remain in shadow with a slight glow of reflected light warming the lightest portions of brain rock in the foreground. Photo © copyright by Robert Faucher.
