USA Blog Entry 10: Bryce National Park







My favorite part of the whole trip was Bryce National Park. This is where I really got hooked on the photography. I absolutely loved the little posing ground squirrel.

USA Blog Entry 7: Moab Car Show







We arrived in Moab, Utah Friday evening and set out on Saturday morning to see the cars at the Moab Car show. I think shots of whole cars can be kind of boring, so here are a few little details, and a self portrait as well.

USA Blog Entry 6: Glen Canyon Dam and Monument Valley







After stopping at Horseshoe Bend Overlook we drove into Page for lunch and went on for a quick look at Glen Canyon Dam, then on through Kayenta into Monument Valley and on past Canyonlands up to Moab.

USA Blog Entry 5: Horse shoe bend







On Friday we relocated from Sedona to Moab with a detour past Horse shoe bend. We are not great hikers and found the walk quite tough but the view was great.
I saw some desert flowers. And I must say that standing on the edge overlooking horshoe bend id the most scared I have been for a long long time.
Definitely worth the detour! However we don't recommend hiking it between 12 and 1 in the blazing sun as we did.

USA Blog Entry 4: Meteor Crater







On Thursday we took a trip out to meteor crater. I love the visitor's centre with all its cool Science stuff, like being a kid again.
The crater is huge, almost too big to get your head around. And pretty hard to take photos of.
I saw a cute lizard type animal, any ideas what it is?
