| One morning in Utah’s rocky desert-land. |
 |
| The dry land watching the sun on its way up. |
 |
| And catching some early morning light. |
 |
| And my lens was busy catching the landscape catching the light. |
 |
| These pictures are from a moving train. |
 |
| Utah’s dry side, its canyons and rock forms and all, was like a grand treat for my eyes and my camera. And the morning light that shone on the landscape made it a grander. |

Amazing view and clicks
Thank you, Rupam.
And yeah, the views really were amazing.
How cool that you were able to catch these great shots from a moving train, but how sad that the train is moving. Hope you were able to stop in Utah and take in some of it's wonderful parks. It is truly one of our most beautiful states. You caught some awesome light here … nice job.

I got to see only the tip of the iceberg, Andrea. I'm definitely going to go see more of Utah in some time. What little I saw of it was beautiful. Can't wait to go see the rest.
Thank you so much, Andrea. These were scenes I woke up to one morning. It was such a gorgeous start. 🙂
lovely shots of the light
Thank you Marsha.
I'm coming to see your light pictures, soon.
It doesn't look to be a flat desert like Rajasthan, so they must be getting rain sometime.
Stunning pics, even the one from train.
In Rajasthan we have a 'Sandy Desert,' here it is a 'Rocky Desert.'
These are not as dry as the sandy deserts. I guess that explains the bushes, even though they are dry ones.
Thank you so much, Alok. 🙂
the desert can be a lovely place at times.
I sweat it can be.
The first time I saw the desert was a little over a decade ago. I saw the a part of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India and it made me ecstatic. 🙂
Deserts have a beauty of their own..
Wonderful vistas!!
Yes, they are. I would love to go get myself more views like this.
Thank you, Magic eye.
Straight out of Hollywood movies… just a horse and a cowboy is missing 🙂
The wild west! 🙂
Great shots from the train! It's quite desolate looking but the light gives it an eerie beauty.
Thank you, Betty.
It did seem like the light was adding some extra charm to the dry landscape.
Feels like stills from some old Western cowboy classic movie….Nice shots
🙂
Thank you, Jaish.
I hope you are doing well. 🙂
I was waiting for some cowboys coming 🙂
Great shots.
Have a nice day 🙂
That would have completed the pictures. 🙂
Thank you so much Mormor.
You too.
this kind of nature is special. So rich in color and wilderness 🙂
It is special. I love rocky places. Passing through these interesting landscapes was a treat. And light made it even better.
Thank you for the opportunity to put this up, Monica. 🙂
I've driven through Utah…long winding roads….You snapped some terrific photos♪
Ah! that must have been a great drive. I have plans of driving that way sometime in the near future. 🙂
Thank you, Laurie. 🙂
so dry and beautiful 🙂
Dry can be beautiful, right?
🙂
Thank you for stopping by, Joshi.
Barren landscape! There is some weird charm to it. I can picture that drive with beautiful vistas. Nice shots, Nambiare.
I thought it was charming too, maybe it's because this is not a scene I'm too used to. I was awed. It was great to wake up to this.
Thank you, Nomad. 🙂
amazing pics Dee… I loved the Utah experience too 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU Archana.
And you're welcome. 🙂
Amazing pictures and nature is special. Amazing morning Sun Light………
Nature does have several interesting and amazing faces. And light adds another dimension to it all, I believe. 🙂
Thank you for visiting. 🙂
Amazing indeed!
Thank you Divya for sharing these…
Thank YOU, Amit.
What happened to the Aag in your name? 🙂
Such a beautiful landscape – the accompanying commentary enhanced the beauty!
Isn't it?
So glad you enjoyed that, Arti. And I love your post on South Indian breakfast.
Wow.. Wish to be there sometime 🙂
Thanks for sharing !
I wish your wish comes true, Vijay. Hopefully on your next trip to the US…
You're welcome. 🙂
Wow. Reminds me of the movie 'Gerry' by Gus Van Sant.
Now that's a movie I could watch.
Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Now this is going to sound kiddish but I have never seen a desert in my life and these pictures just get me a keen desire to see one.
Oh no, not at all. I understand. There was a time I hadn't seen it. And when I did, it awed me. That was a part of the Thar.
I hope you get to see some kind of desert soon, Shweta. You'll love it.
There's a travel story coming up on your blog right? 🙂 And that's probably going to be after the A-Z challenge, huh? Looking forward to that.
That was a lovely photo essay!!
That was a lovely photo essay!!
Thank you, Magic eye. 🙂
Beautiful early morning shots from the desert.
Thank you so much, Rajesh. 🙂
Didn't know desert can be so beautiful! Lovely vistas.
Thank you, Nisha.
I think deserts are beautiful be it a Sandy Desert or a Rocky one like this or any other. Each has a charm of its own, I guess. 🙂
Nice to see you here, Nisha. I hope you'll visit again. 🙂
It is indeed a grand treat! What awe inspiring place. The colors are magnificent. Great shots DN
Isn't it?
I loved it.
Thank you so much, Devi. Happy Tamil New Year to you. 🙂

[…] through my travel albums I found that I had more photographs from that morning’s (read post- Utah’s Rocky Deserts -I) Amtrak journey through Utah. It was interesting to see how light played on the rocks and bushes […]
