Black and White Zion

Take the red away and the shape of the place is what is left.

Zion is famous for color, so stripping it out is a fair test. These are winter frames, where snow and hard shadow already do most of the work, converted to black and white. What survives is form: ridgelines, cliff faces, and a single line of tracks across a white field.
