Took this shot from Route 163 while on my way to Monumental Valley.

Sort of speaks for itself. What an awesome place.

Monumental Valley, September 2008. Shot taken with a Nikon D300 supplied with Nikkor 18-200 VRII Lens. Polarizer attached.

Colorful place V. Color at Serra da Estrela. Original edit of my serpia(ish) version as many people asked for the original pic. Here it is! Thanks, Joel.

1 hour of light left, and what a great sky. Taken in Zion National Park.

In Death Valley, even in the Spring with the air only warming to 87 degrees Fahrenheit, one must pack plenty of water. This was my lesson as I found myself parched after walking 45 minutes to the middle of the sand dunes just outside of the Stovepipe Wells area with only one liter of water on me. A lesson learned the hard way. You can literally lose yourself in this vast and wondrous landscape. The shapes continually shift as you wend your way through this amazing place. If I had enough water on me I could have stayed many more hours than I did. As it calls me back, I am in hopes to return in the Fall... with lots of water.
