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.

Oljato Monument Valley

From this viewpoint it looked calm and sunny, but down in the Monument Valley a blasting sand storm was forcing cars and RVs to find shelter up here in this little cove.

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.

Mountains touching the Sky

This scenery attracted my attention because the rock formation is so dark in the sun light and the sky was really bright. This range is close to Marble Canyon and the Navajo Bridge in Arizona.

Antelope Canyon 5

This is another example how the colors and rock formations vary in the Antelope Canyon in Arizona which is about 120 feet deep under ground. The Upper Canyon is 660 feet long and the Lower Canyon is 1,335 feet long. And this colorful show of Nature goes on throughout the whole canyon.

Antelope Canyon 2

Antelope Canyon in Arizona is a paradise for photographers not only because of the different rock formations but also because of the incredible change of colors throughout the whole canyon. Showing the size of the people to demonstrate how high the canyon walls are.

High Desert near Antelope Canyon

When driving along Hwy 160 and Hwy 98 in Arizona there is no indication that Antelope Canyon might be close. It's kind of boring at times.

In the Middle of Nowhere

Coming from Monument Valley, which is way in the distance, and driving to Antelope Canyon on Hwy 160 and 98 in Arizona. It's high desert, very dry, just lots of bushes. And in the middle of nowhere is a high-voltage electric mast with 5 lines coming from Page going where?

Light and Shadow

Late Afternoon in May. It was a perfect day, sunny but not hot. The storm from the day before had settled, just leaving a few dark clouds on the horizon and nice shadows on the monuments.

Can you imagine . . . ?

Driving through the Western States and Monument Valley, it is hard to imagine how anybody could survive the hardships traveling in a stage coach through this harsh and rugged county-side. Just considering the lack of water and the heat or cold in the desert creates a big question mark in my mind. How was it possible?

Hazy Morning

Every morning is different inside the Monument Valley. This one was very quiet with hazy sunlight. Can't see the monuments in the distance. But there are interesting shadows on the huge brown rocks which become really red in the evening sun.

Desert Vibes

Leaving Monument Valley on Hwy 163 towards Mexican Hat in Utah, suddenly the landscape looks flat and the ground is dark and rough with little dry clumps of grass.

Mexican Hat in Utah.

Just when we arrived at the Mexican Hat, looking for a place to park without messing up the scenery for others, those 3 RVs passed us and drove right into my picture. That was so funny, I had to capture that moment.

High Country in Utah.

When leaving the Zion Park Canyon East on SR 9 it goes up and up until one reaches the high desert which is dry and rough. But there are some ranches nestled beneath the mountains with beautiful horses.
