Fleeting Capitol Reef Sunset

Rugged desert landscape glowing with an elevated band of sunset light, as seen & captured from Sunset Point in Capitol Reef National Park near Torrey, Utah (USA). Digitally manipulated with an abstract motion blur effect around the bottom two thirds of the image. Not only for contrast purposes, but also in hopes of communicating the fleeting nature of a sunset; especially as a photographer often running around frantically trying to find a good vantage point before the magic light disappears.
