A sprawling old cottonwood tree stands the test of time against the backdrop of the red cliffs near Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park. The glow of the desert varnish in the morning sun reflects a rose coloured hue onto the surrounding landscape and lights up the star of the show in a fantasy-like scene.
