Good landscape pictures have good clouds. A certain portion of most of the landscape pictures is the sky. The sky is boring if empty. Good clouds adds more interest. In this picture, 50% is the sky. If it were just uniform blue, then this picture was only 50% interesting. Keep looking at the weather. Or get lucky. This was taken at Toadstool, near Page, AZ. Easy hike from the paved highway 89 north of Vermillion Cliffs, south of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The closest city is Page. The hike is not technical. No paved paths but there are few signs so you won't get lost easily. The paths change all the time when rains. (Sony A7R, Sony Zeiss 16-35mm FE at 21 mm, f/8, 1/400, ISO = 100, vivid mode)

I was on the left edge of Park City and shooting down toward Deer Valley, Utah. I merged two pictures side by side and made the panoramic picture with Adobe Photoshop CS4. I used my graduated filter to block the sun on the top half. (Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-200mm at 18mm, 1/320 f/9)
There wasn't too much sun when I was in Park City for four days. I took this pic from the ski slope. When I was skiing downhill, there was this moment when the sun was shining just on the orange trees making them even more orange. My eyes went to those trees right away.
