ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Factory Butte is between Capital Reef and Hanksville, Utah. I captured this image on a morning in winter just a storm was rolling through. The light and condition where exactly what I had been waiting for. I took a risk in getting this shot with the road beginning to turn to mud. Even in my Jeep I knew that I had a short window to take the shot.
