Dead Horse Ranch State Park

One of our stops during the recent vacation was Dead Horse Ranch State Park near Cottonwood, AZ. We stopped to have lunch and enjoy the beautiful lagoons and scenery. This image shows one of the several lagoons and ponds in the park. There was also a river flowing through the park. After having lunch, we visited Tuzigoot, just down the road.

The Needles of Utah Canyonlands

Canyonlands National Park is in Southern Utah, west of US Hwy. 191. The confluence of the Green River and the Colorado River is about in the center of this vast, scenic land. Canyonlands has two entrances, one north and one south – it is impossible to drive in one entrance and go out the other because of a two-thousand foot cliff and wide rivers in the middle. On the day we went to this park (both entrances) and Arches National Park. Bob found it hard to believe that I nearly filled up my 4 gigabyte camera memory module – over 1000 images! What can I say – it was all so interesting and beautiful. We watched a feature-length slide show in our room that night. This picture is of a formation referred to as “needles.” Click on the image for full-sized.

Hoodoo Panorama

This is one of many panoramic images I took on our vacation last week. This is at Bryce Canyon from Sunrise Point. Just look at the colors and weird hoodoo formations. Amazing.

Desert Watchtower – in 3D

While we were at Grand Canyon, I imaged the Desert Watchtower in 3D. Click to see this image full sized. You will need red-cyan 3D glasses to see the stereo effect.
