Utah- Life Elevated
by Shreeni Mani, photos by Shreeni Mani
As a traveler, I have always been inspired to visit new and extraordinary landscapes and as a photographer I always want to capture
such landscapes in the best possible light and climatic conditions that can elevate the imagery.
Visiting Utah during late summer to capture some unique weather phenomenon has always been on my bucket list as a
photographer and so I decided to drive up all the way from Los Angeles to Moab, UT.
Drive through thunderstorm:
As I drove the clouds started building up. The late afternoon thunderstorms were so stunning to see while driving and urged me to
stop and enjoy the dramatic scene. The rain lashing across the canyons with lightning strikes all over the place was sure an amazing
sight.

Moab is a small town in the state of Utah proud of having two stunning National Parks, Arches in the eastern side and Canyonlands
in the western side of its boundary. I drove to Canyonlands for the famous and one of the most photographed sunrise in the USA ‐
Mesa Arch. As the sun started to light up the landscape, it creates the orange glow on the red rocks of the Mesa Arch.
