Checkerboard Mesa, Zion National Park, Utah

Olympus OM-4, Zuiko 35-80 f2.8,  Polarizer, Fuji Velvia

The Checkerboard Mesa is located in the western section of the park, where the rock surface has many patterns and lines to use for compositional elements.  

I used a polarizing filter here, but not fully polarized, as skies in high-altitude areas such as Zion can turn an unnaturally deep blue if fully polarized.
