Twilight Over the Painted Desert
San Rafeal Swell, Utah
As dusk settles over the badlands near Utah’s San Rafael Swell, the landscape transforms into a canvas of lavender, rose, and crimson. Soft light grazes the sculpted hills, accentuating the layered hues of ancient sediment. In the distance, the Henry Mountains rise in a violet haze—silent sentinels above a dreamscape shaped by time and twilight. Photo © copyright by Joseph Rossbach.
