Another pair from the archives: skyscrapers of a different sort than I’m used to, in Zion. On my epic 2009 roadtrip I was lucky enough to see a rare ephemeral waterfall, two thousand feet of cascade so powerful that it exhausts itself just a couple of hours after the wall of rain stops, leaving behind only the curtains of green moss and wildflowers that cling to the crevices in the cliffs.

Bryce Canyon, Utah, shot in 2010 on my trusty Holga. I often daydream about hiking here during my more pedestrian daily hikes from cubicle to office restroom.
