I consider this to be one of my most powerful images of the carved sandstone canyon country of Utah. It is taken from my special study area in the bottom of Gravel Canyon, a place I have visited to photograph about 20 times in the past 12 years.

Every time I visit this place I look forward to saying hello to the single round rock. It has survived numerous flash floods over all these years, ever since I first visited this place. Somehow it is placed in such a way, and has such a shape, that the fierce hydrodynamics of a flash flood never moves it. It is about the size of a bowling ball. Below is a video I took, a sort of walk around this photographically rich small area.
