Description

Sunset on Park Avenue by Jeff Burton. The sun lights up the sky with a golden orange light over Park Avenue in Arches National Park outside Moab Utah. The Park Avenue Trail is seen extending from the bottom of the image to the gap in the rock walls. The rock wall formations tower above the viewer of either side of the trail and the red sandstone is enhanced by the orange light reflecting from the clouds in the sky.

"After a whole day of traveling on planes, trains, and automobiles, we arrived at Park Avenue just before sunset. It was a scramble to dig all the photography gear out of the van and I rushed up to the lookout point to catch the last bit of sunset. To avoid having spectators in the image, I walked down the Park Avenue Trail for about 100 yards to a relatively level spot to make this image."

Jeff Burton is a Peoria, IL based Fine Art Photographer, who seeks to capture moments that instill a sense of calm and wonderment with the world around us. His photography style emphasizes the rich texture and tones of his subjects which are often overlooked.
