In the south of the US state of Utah lies one of the most impressive canyons on this earth: the Bryce Canyon. Named after the settler Ebenezer Bryce, who came to the Paria Valley in 1875 to engage in the timber industry. His neighbors called the canyon behind his house Bryce's Canyon. Thousands of sandstone formations shaped by erosion, called hoodoos, seem to grow out of the earth and create a breathtaking view of this legendary canyon. On July 21, 2006, during our USA trip from Denver, Colorado to Los Angeles, California, we visited Bryce Canyon. Shortly before, a rain shower passed over the canyon, causing the colors of the sandstone to shine in a beautiful, vibrant red-orange. The image shows the "Bryce Amphitheater" photographed from Bryce Point.
