Description
A sprawling juniper tree frames the view at Dead Horse Point State Park outside Moab, Utah. The overlook at the end of the road provides a wonderful view of the point and the Colorado River, as it winds its way through the cliffs. The red rock in the area is very impressive, and provides many views of this picturesque area. While it's beautiful anytime, the light is best in the morning, so if you're going to visit, try to get there early in the day.
There are a number of stories about the origin of the name Dead Horse Point. The most popular of the explanations is that the point was used as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century. The "dead horse" part of the name is that the corral was abandoned, but the horses did not leave the corral, even after the gate was left open, and died there.

This is a beautiful scenic landscape and what is very interesting is the tree in the middle. I am not sure if it is a frame or a focal point. It does catch my eye first so I will consider it both. Keep up the good work.
