It was raining as I drove up this canyon, searching for a campsite. Failing to find an angle for a particular tree, I drove past this Clematis vine, and immediately stopped to photograph it, getting soaked in the process.

When taking this photo, I couldn't stop thinking of the parallels between Granite, #Montana and Park City, Utah, which I grew up outside of. Both have a history of silver mining, and both became ghost towns after silver prices plunged in the 1950s. One still is.

I don't often care for color photography, even with fall colors. However, sometimes subjects like these Thimbleberries just feel deserving of color film.

Much of the #Uintas are protected under a wilderness designation as part of the 1984 #Utah Wilderness Act.

Made with a #Pentax K-1 and Pentax 43mm f/1.9 lens.

Soon I'll be back in Utah to photograph in the southern portion of the state. Until then, however, this photo of Dead Horse Lake and Mount Beulah will have to suffice.

The photo was made using Ilford Delta 100 on 4x5" sheet film, and is printed on 16x20" Ilford Multigrade paper.
