This is from my very first visit to this amazing place. I was in such awe I only managed to take a couple photos. I've since been back many, many times and have many, many wonderful photos (some of which I've already shared here and more to come, I'm sure.)

I'm not a photographer. A Photographer would have timed the visit to when the light fell uniformly across the cliff face. I'm just a person who takes photos of the places I'm visiting.
But these petroglyphs as so cool, I thought you'd like to see them even so.

Yes, you owe it to yourselves to visit this beautiful desert canyon filled with more amazing sights than you would have thought before you visited. It's far enough off the beaten path that you can enjoy a #SilentSunday surrounded by the remains of a vast culture. I took this photo on my way to the campground after a wonderful day exploring the canyon.

One of the best things about old skool pre-Elon twitter was its weekly twitter chats.
My fav was #ParkChat (eg #nationalparks#publiclands). A weekly host asks one question prompt every 5 mins for an hour, and participants respond with their own answers using the hashtag. Conversation ensues.
I’ve generally abandoned my account there, but have agreed to host one last time this Weds 3/27 at 6pm PDT to celebrate its 10-year anniversary.
If I posted each question here too, would you participate?
The fourth consecutive photo from my camp at Marble Canyon, this time looking NE—Lee's Ferry is just behind the leftmost ridge. I used 70mm to isolate the peak.
The very controversial "Nightmare Rock" at the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California. Nearly every B-western from the '50s was filmed in the Alabama Hills as well as hundreds of other movies, both classic & modern. The Alabama Hills are public lands. Thankfully, while roadside Nightmare Rock has been painted in various ways over many decades, I have never seen any other street art or graffiti in the area.
