This was the first visit in the winter months. The white of the snow really brings out the Hoodoos. That and the sun light make some of the hoodoos irridescent.

Whith this storm, the snowfall was enough to reach all the way to the bottom of the canyon. The peaks and the valleys were really beautiful.

Legend has it that a hunter left a tin cup next to the stream which was found many years later by a fisherman. This became its official designation. The beautiful golden aspen trees in the fall combined with the green of pine trees and the fence nearby was my inspiration for this image.

This particular year as we approached Pioneer campground, we were greeted with this amazing pink color. The way that the trees formed a covering over the trail made for a very pleasing image.

We were able to capture a few good photos as it seemed to almost pose for us.

Before any snow falls, covering the ice, methane bubbles appear creating unusual patterns. This one looks like some kind of alien machine.

I was in the Visitors Center admiring the temple when I saw the reflection of the Christus statue, which was behind me, in the window superimposed on the temple. It was Christmastime so there were no leaves on the trees which made it possible to get this image. I found afterwards that the light between 2 spires formed a star. While they are strengthening the temple foundations, they have torn down the visitor center and moved the statue across the street making this image impossible to get. Also, the trees have grown a lot since the image was shot, obscuring the temple from this view. Salt Lake City, Utah https://www.tkspiekerman.com/photo/logan-utah-lds-temple/ https://www.tkspiekerman.com/images/xl/logan-temple.jpg Logan Utah LDS Temple I have always had special memories of the Logan, Utah Temple, Most images of the temple face West towards the Wellsville Range of mountains. I wanted a photo of the temple with the Bear River Range of mountains which would be facing to the East. I looked around town until I found a vantage point where, by setting up on top of my truck I was able to get what I waw looking for. The blossoms on the trees only tend to enhance this view.

As the sky began to lighten, we could see the Teton ahead of us and the beautiful color in the clouds. I sat and reflected on the day and my life. My thoughts were a bit unfocused, like the water before me Sometimes the reflections are crystal clear and mirror the mountain and sometimes a bit of wind will come up and disturb the water and reflections, like my thoughts of the day.

I saw the rainbow and slammed on my brakes without looking behind me (thank goodness there was no one behind me) I immediately parked and got out to set up and photograph the temple. This was the result of being patient. Brigham City, Utah https://www.tkspiekerman.com/photo/patterns/ https://www.tkspiekerman.com/images/xl/patterns.jpg Patterns Every year the farmers in the area plow and harrow their land creating distinct patterns in the soil. The partial melting of the snow brings out the patterns even more than is seen in the soil alone. Cache Valley, Utah https://www.tkspiekerman.com/news/ https://www.tkspiekerman.com/contact/
