Reflected light, Bryce Canyon, Utah
United States picture - Bryce Canyon is filled with thousands of colorful hoodoos, creating a fantastical assembly of shapes and colors. The canyon holds a series of walls that can act as reflectors for light. This image is the product of such a wall, which catches the late afternoon sun and throws its glow back on the hoodoos before it. It is as if we are looking into a giant basket of glowing hot coals.
