What I did on my summer vacation, part 2

Southern Utah is amazingly beautiful. I took this picture through the window, while driving, not far from Kanab. No place in particular.

The road crosses Kanab Creek here. Yes, the hills and cliffs really are red. Lots of westerns were made here in the old days. And TV shows: Gunsmoke, Bonanza, etc. Some of the sets remain standing.

Weather changes quickly and dramatically in S. Utah. It can be raining, and then, an hour later, the sun is blazing.

Everywhere you go in Southern Utah, it's beautiful.

Here are some shots from Bryce Canyon. I won't bother showing the familiar Bryce "hoodoos." Too familiar.

OK, OK. Some Bryce hoodoo action.

A beautiful pet cemetery in the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary (on 33,000 acres just outside of Kanab).

What I did on my summer vacation, part 1

Grand Canyon, north rim, just a few days ago. I visited the south rim in 1959. Don't remember that.

The weather was moody and it fluctuated. Good weather for a visit with the sublime and the inexplicable.

They say that, from 30,000 feet, it looks stranger still, a hole that appears in an expanse of flat land.

I saw foreigners clutching their children. A saw non-foreigners letting their kids run wild, as though there were no danger of falling and dying. Odd.

The first European explorers hated it. It was, I'm told, monstrous to them, an odd thing for a good God to make.

I dunno.
