A couple of weeks ago, I ventured out to the Spiral Jetty and Rozel Point with some friends for my bi-annual trek. There is a tactile beauty that cannot be described, but is best understood when experienced.
The Spiral Jetty is one of my most favorite places in the world (not that I’ve even come remotely close to traveling the world). I always feel a sense of wonder and peace while there. It is like candy for my eyes and music to my soul. The colors of the sky are different with each journey, as well as the water levels and temperature. It is always exciting to experience it in a completely new way with each visit.
On this particular adventure, we arrived just as the sun was setting. Right as we drove up, I grabbed my gear and ran ahead a half mile to try and utilize the rest of the gorgeous sunset. Amazing oranges and pinks filled the sky. It was perfect for HDR photography. I also had the opportunity to photograph the sunrise as well. I love the solitude I can have when I am alone with my camera, experiencing the grandeur and wonder of this world.
I love how HDR photography can capture what my eyes see. Too bad that when I upload the images, they lose a lot of their vibrancy…but you get the idea….

These photos are absolutely incredible! I love the colors and the wide angle view – it feels like I could step into the photograph.

Followed the link from Twitter. Really amazing shots here.
I am going on the 11th and was wondering how one traverses the final 15.5 miles from the Spike site. Thinking of walking the last 3. Is this do-able?
Thanks for any info you can share. My twitter is proflauber.

Oh my goodness, this is beautiful! I can’t believe I’ve never been, it’s officially on my Utah To Do list.

The flats are perfect for photography, no doubt, but I have never seen photos taken there that look this inspirational!
The sunset photos are absolutely incredible. What type of flash did you use on these?
These photos are beautiful. I didn’t realise the scale of the Spiral Jetty until I noticed the little people on it. Before that it almost seemed that it was only a few meters long.
I don’t want ot take any of the magic away from such an amazing looking place, but who built it and what purpose does it serve? “Because they could” would be a perfectly good answer, I’m just curious.
Oops… I just noticed the link to the wikipedia page you have there. I’m blind some times…
Beautiful work!
Mike.
