The Book Cliffs are located just on the outskirts of Grand Junction CO. They face the Colorado National Monument. That puts the town of Grand Junction smack-dab in the middle of both, making it a landscape photographers dream destination.
I would like to get back there soon to spend an entire weekend working with these incredible mountains. This image was from a photo-walk sandwiched between a 5 hour mountain bike ride in the desert and some margaritas with the A-team.

20 years ago I interviewed for a residency spot in Grand Junction. Wonderful part of Colorado. I remember exploring this area for an afternoon. It was just spectacular.
Great choice to use Nik’s Silver Efex – excellent work here my friend!

Hopefully you can get back soon Jeff! There are lots of horses out here for you to photograph. I would love to see what you and your D700 could do with the landscape!
Take care,
Justin
