Monument Valley with Clouds.

Dark clouds are moving into the valley. They sure look like rain which would be a blessing for the dry earth. And I think the animals would love it too.

View of the Valley

It was still early and no one was at the little jewelry stand which had broken down. The valley was quiet and the view was wide and clear all the way to the village and the mountains in the far distance.

The Famous Green Dino

On Hwy 24 going towards Capitol Reef in Utah, there is this sweet looking Green Dino. I had never seen one of these, so of course I had to take a photo of this happy looking Dino at the gas station. Later I read up on the story of Sinclair’s famous Green Dino and found out that they started in 1916 and went through hell and back (Depression and WWII) with their business endeavors, but coming out stronger now than ever before.

Our New Friends

After driving all day up and down the mountains on Hwy 12 we arrived in Torrey, Utah. It's a little town with farms on the outskirts. And there we met these beautiful horses. They sure liked our apples and were a little sad when we left. I guess they don't see too many visitors.

Desert Art

Borrego Springs has some interesting places to see. The people that live there in the desert are not your normal 9 to 5 public. They are different. The Anza Borrego Desert Valley has a very exciting atmosphere.

The Sierra Nevada

Traveling on Hwy 136 from Keeler towards Lone Pine in California. The mountains of the Sierra Nevada are cloaked in clouds. I wanted to see Mt. McKinley. Well, maybe later. Way over on foot of the Sierras runs Hwy 395.

Lake Owens, CA

It used to be a very lush lake with lots of plants and animals behind Keeler on Hwy 136. But years ago Los Angeles needed water and built a canal and emptied the lake. Now they have to pay to get the lake going again. And lots of birds returned already. But it's still dry and salty all around.

Morning at the Colorado River

On this side is Nevada and over there is Arizona. And in between flows the magnificent Colorado River. The wind is blowing very strong from down South. It's hard to stand still and hold the camera.

At the Colorado River

If we had a little boat we could cross the Colorado River and be in Arizona shortly. But driving to the other side will take many hours, if it's possible at all, as the terrain is wild and rough. This point is at the end of Navada SR 165, about an hour South of Las Vegas.
