I spent one and half days shooting in the Painted Desert east of Tuba City, AZ. Other than the natural beauty of the area one of the most remarkable things is that I never saw another person; I don’t mean just photographers but anyone. These locations were reachable on dirt roads off the main highways, and I did hike a little once I parked, but not a sole was there. Pretty rare these days.

Lovely scenery, beautifully presented.
There’s something about overcast days that can really work in the favour of colour photography.
An interesting point you make about overcasts. The light is soft and even and sometimes works better. Also, don’t have to get up at 5:00AM for sunrise.
Great capture and processing. You did a great job getting the depth of this scene.
Thank you very much.
