A Cloudy Morning in Bryce Canyon
Not every day in Bryce Canyon greets you with glowing sunrises and perfect light. On one of my mornings there, the sky was heavy with clouds and a light rain drifted through the amphitheater. Even so, the landscape was nothing short of inspiring.
Armed with my Leica Q3 and Leica Q3 43, I set out to make the most of the conditions. The muted light gave the hoodoos and cliffs a moody quality—less about bright color, more about texture and depth. I came away with a handful of images that reflect the canyon in a quieter, more atmospheric state.
What struck me just as much as the scenery was the abundance of wildlife. Even in less-than-ideal weather, birds and small animals moved through the park, reminding me that Bryce is as alive as it is dramatic. It left me thinking about the next trip—this time with my Sony A1II and longer lenses, giving me the reach and speed to capture that side of the canyon as well.
This was just a first taste. I’ll be back to Bryce Canyon soon, ready to slow down, stay longer, and tell more of its story through both landscapes and wildlife.
