Well..you sound as if you thoroughly enjoyed your time there...I would too!

Here the dead branches on the gnarled cedar are essential because they mimic the towering rock formations so well, from their shapes to the striations within. The oxides in that rock tower on the right are so intense and varied they look like they were painted on. Can we tell you liked your trip here in the U.S.? Gee, I don't know... maybe if you went home and built fake windows in your house, filling the frames with large prints of these shots for display... hmmm? It's good to have visitors here who can really appreciate the place.
