The first three photos were taken at or near Zion National Park in southern Utah. The trees here are so different from what I'm used to.
This is the view from the porch of our hotel room (below). We checked in after dark and woke to this breath-taking scene in the morning.
These sand dunes are in Death Valley National Park. We got up before sunrise to take photos here. I'm not a "morning person," but for this, it was worth it!
great pictures! thanks for sharing

Amazing, I know these places because I sometimes write them on envelopes but yet I have no idea what they actually look like !
ReplyDeleteWow, what a landscape! So much different from our´s. I would love to see it in real someday.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture doesn't even look like it belongs in the U.S. They are all just so breathtaking! Now I feel the need for a trip out west and soon.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the first tree pic!
ReplyDeleteI live in St. George, Utah, less than an hours drive from Zion National Park, and I follow your blog. Beautiful pictures and this is one of the best times to come our way.
ReplyDeleteJust outside of St. George is Snow Canyon State Park, where they have solid rock formations that look like your last picture. You'll have to come see them next time you are out our way.
Awesome photos... especially the first one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, yesterday and this post. I went to the Salt Flats when I was really little. With all the beautiful scenery here in the U.S. I always wondered why people go to Europe.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and SO different to my local landscape here in the UK. I'd love to visit Utah one day.
