I took at 6,000 km drive through the western states recently and have hundreds of shots. The scenery is awesome. Here are a couple of examples.

Red Canyon in southwestern Utah:

And its big brother, Bryce Canyon, a few km up the road:

Nice series Donsinc.

I used to use a 3D landscape modelling program called "Bryce" - now I see why!:Razz

Great set of photos one or two really caught my eye.

Keep expecting the cavalry to come round the corner or the sheriff and a mounted posse!

Thanks for sharing Donsinc.:Razz

Would be a fantastic trip for a geologist and it would be interesting see how long those stones would stand on top of each other if they were in Caithness.:eek:

Is that a building perched on top in the first photo of post 19, or is it just my imagination???

It's your imagination. Here is an extreme blow up of that portion of the picture:

Great shots -- toured there several years ago, scenery was awesome but not the best places for someone with a fear of heights.
