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.

The Colorado River at Laughlin, NV

Our travels took us to Laughlin Nevada today, where I imaged this panoramic view of the Colorado River. Left to right are the Laughlin Bullhead City bridge, the river with north Bullhead on the opposite bank and finally downstream to Don Laughlin’s Riverside Hotel and Casino – now slightly larger than the original single story complex.

Visit to the Grand Canyon

One more day of visiting the most beautiful scenery in the world. Today we’re at Grand Canyon where we posed at the ‘Desert View’ lookout for this shot. The famous Fred Harvey Watchtower is at this location. We’re taking so many beautiful pictures that we will share on the blog sometime soon.

We should be at Zion National Park this evening. We will be posting daily with something of interest from the road.

The Blue Screen of Death

BSODPeople who are familiar with Windows® operating systems will recognize this “blue screen of death.” I have seen it from time to time when using both home and work computers that both use the Windows OS. What threw me was this one that popped up on – wait for it – the gas pump at a Lomita (CA) Mobil station. It pumped out $2.16 worth of regular gasoline when it did this. I had to move to another pump where I completed my fill-up.

When I checked the credit card charges later in the week, I saw that I got charged the $2.16 for the aborted sale. Weird.
