Creating ‘Moon, Mist, and Mountain’

First breath out the cabin door is like a drink of of ice cold water. The wind presses my coat against me. Moonlight casts blue-gray light bright enough to read by as I haul my gear to the van.

My destination is the amphitheater formed by the southern arm of the Towers of the Virgin. Nearly all of the images of these bastion-like walls are taken from two miles away at the National Park Visitor Center (image to left). My goal is to create a more intimate portrait of this iconic Zion location. I will hike in as far as I can, then see how high up the talus slopes I can get before the light begins.

First light reveals mist shrouded peaks. In the Book of Landstriding, that is a very good thing, but I need to hurry to get up the opposite slope. I start running. Striking out cross-country, I find sign of an old trail, but it doesn’t lead up, and up is where I need to go. I find a small wash which makes the way easy and direct.

Every fifty feet of elevation I look over my shoulder. The mist is clearing, which means that day has truly begun, but sunlight hasn’t touched rock yet. The moon is nearing ideal position. I begin hunting for a relatively level place to setup.

Tripod extended and leveled, tripod head attached. Looking up, there is the Moon, Mist, and Mountain.
