Looking Up

I recently encountered a couple of pictures on the internet that really caught my fancy. 

They were well framed, in focus, all the things that make for a good photograph, but what really grabbed my attention was the point of view.

The first was shot in a forest of tall pine trees

and the other is an unusual shot from one of America’s most photographed National Parks – Bryce Canyon.  Thousands of pictures have been shot there, most of them looking something like this:

According to the Bryce Canyon Visitor Guide, the park, open since 1928, now sees an estimated 1.75 million visitors per year, very few of whom leave without taking pictures of the impressive landscape.

Almost all of those photos have been shot from locations along the canyon rim, which makes this photograph – one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen - truly unique:
