On one of the evenings while staying in Moab, Utah, I drove to the Dead Horse Point State Park to take in the sights from the elevation. While at the Grand View Point on the park, there was a beautiful panorama of the Earth's Shadow and the Belt of Venus. A father and son were taking time-lapse of the view but had no idea what they seeing. They thanked me for explaining the colour change that they attributed to clouds and they couldn't wait to process their video. The Colorado River is below (centre). In the back left rising above the landscape are the La Sal Mountains; unfortunately, the roads into the mountains were closed due to construction when I was there. The square pools of water seen in front and below the mountains are potash drying pools.

I left Grand View Point as it started to get dark. Not sure I wanted to drive the narrow winding road in the dark, especially with the possibility of not seeing cattle on the road in time.
