Towers of the Virgin

It was one of those mornings when I lift the blinds on the window, a little bleary eyed, and suddenly I’m awake, excited about what I see. With a little hop and a jump I grab my camera gear and I’m off!

I was staying at an RV park just outside Zion National Park in Utah. The clouds looked pretty thick, but the chances were high for a dramatic view so I set off to one of the places I missed on my previous visit, the Towers of the Virgin located behind the museum.

The drive to the museum was only a couple of minutes and surprisingly there were only a few people there who soon cleared out and I was on my own.

Something magical happens when you find yourself all alone in a place like this while the clouds slowly shift, revealing different parts of the majestic mountains, in silence.
