Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Finally Monument Valley



A panorama before the sun set...






Sorry about dirty windshield!



A bit better with a rolled down window...

Don't bother taking any more photos through that windshield!



Just look at those strata!









A nice panorama where we pulled off the road.








My son and myself in a selfie...

My favorite panorama!

Waiting for sunset...but also taking some shots while standing around.



We watched the shadows lengthen...




That shadow is from the large mesa behind us.

The side of the large mesa, taken by focusing in the shadow.




And yes, there are a few sunset photos, but there weren't any clouds to make them very dramatic!

    ...a different beauty than what surrounds me.

      Yes, and different than my home in North Carolina as well!

      It was a great visit...one of those "I wouldn't like to live there" kinds of places.
