Postcard from Zion

Posted 30 November, 2007 by Graham in usa

Zion National Park, in Utah. What a pretty pretty park. Cars are not allowed very far in. All transport is by shuttle bus, which keeps the park quiet, and allowed us to go to a beer festival (yes in Utah!- pictures coming soon).

If you’re wondering why there are all of a sudden lots of pictures on this blog, it’s because I’ve discovered Flickr’s ‘Blog This’ feature. We’ve been uploading pictures to Flickr regularly for a while, and they show up on the right hand side, but I realised I write more in the Flickr picture description than here, so now I can link the two. Yee-hah! You can always click the pictures and select ‘All sizes’ if you want a large version.

Angel delight

On top of Angels Landing, Zion National Park Utah. This is an amazing trail that goes out onto a high rock promontory in Zion Canyon. The last section is on a very thin ridge with sheer drops either side. The views are well worth the risk.

A view of nothing

Our last view of California was here, Badwater in Death Valley National Park, the lowest and hottest point in North America.
Onwards to Nevada!

Learning to see

Posted 26 November, 2007 by Graham in usa

We’ve been back in Pasadena for a little while now, and I’m gradually uploading photos from our road trip in the American South West. Here are two pictures I am particularly pleased with.

Both taken on a sand dune near Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley, California.
