Description

20140428 Church Rock
This rock has fastinated me for a number of years since I first viewed on a return trip from Arizona to Colorado in the 70�s. This is the second photographic panorama I have made at the same location at the turn out on US 191 just south of the of the Canyon Lands and Newpaper Rock turn off, the intersection of highway 211 12 miles north of Monticello. I titled my first Panorama Utah Bee Hive 191 due to It similarity to the Utah Highway signs featuring a Honey Bee Hive. US 191 is probably one of the most interesting road in the United traversing the US from Douglas Arizona near the Mexican border to an obscure intersection on the Canadian border with highway 4 near the Canadian National grass lands north east of Bozeman, Montana.
The current picture titled Church Rock has been on my to-do �bucket list� as a redo due to the interest and mystic of the area. The highway department of local historians decided to call it Church rock to resurrect a utopian religious sect leader Marie Ogden in the 1940�s to build a church in the hole of the base of the rock. The property is on a private ranch and as another story goes the opening in the rock was made by a rancher who was and is using it to store salt and provisions for ranching operations. You can see a light colored human image in the opening of the hole at the base of the rock. Zooming into the image I could see three people and a pickup truck in the hole.
The colorations in the strata of the sand stone are beautiful in the late morning light. This picture was created with a neutral density filter on top of a circular polarization filter on a Nikon D90 attached to a tripod at f22, s 1/30, ISO200, 18-200DX@130mm in Photoshop CC to create the Panorama with 12 images on April 28, 2014.
