Visiting The Subway

Visiting The Subway, originally uploaded by James Neeley.

"We had a great trip to The Subway in Zion National Park. I found it a pretty tough hike especially packing 50 lbs. of camera gear. Where is a Sherpa when you need one! When we got to the actual Subway though it was well worth it. I could have spent hours exploring and photographing this place but knew we still had a grueling hike out and others who were there just for the hike.

There are so many angles and composition possibilities. The view above is the most photographed angle that I have seen but the opportunities are endless. One of the hard parts for me was constantly packing and unpacking my camera in my water proof backpack. This area in particular was extremely slippery so I would take a picture, pack my camera and move to another spot. I would then unpack the camera, set up and shoot repeating this process over and over"
these were the words used by the photographer to describe the above photo.
