'Desert Sojourn'

NFT Edition: 1/1

Artist: Shaun Stewart

During a solo road trip through the western states a few years ago, I fell in love with Utah and Zion National Park.

The red rock desert was like nowhere I had been before, a dream for a landscape photographer.

I wanted a unique take on this famous scene, so I hiked a few hundred meters down the bank of the Virgin River to find a quiet spot to watch the sunset. Having escaped the crowds, I waded into the river and watched the sun descend the dusty desert sky.

As the sun sunk towards the horizon, 'The Watchmen' began to glow red, accentuating the beautiful fall foliage of the cottonwood trees.
