A Bit More Bryce

November 8, 2010

I had said earlier that I had not realized Bob used another camera to take some shots at both Bryce and Zion. When I finally remembered to download that camera, I found a couple of other things that were somewhat interesting.

First up, this was in Cedar City, UT. We saw this on one corner; the diagonal corner had an equally interesting pairing, but too many cars inbetween to get a clear shot.  Not on Halloween, so we guessed it had something to do with the University.

Next is a hoodoo shot. I'm not sure I explained hoodoos and how they are made. Bear with me if I did. The earliest settlers who saw these felt that they cast a spell upon you (by being so beautiful and mesermizing, not because they were magical) and called them "hoodoos" to express that feeling.
They are caused when a pillar forms wings, which eventually turn into windows. When the windows collapse, the two sides of the pillar are left, creating two hoodoos.

And, finally, a shot of an Albert squirrel. This was taken in Flagstaff, just as we were getting ready to leave. It's a bit blurry. Not sure if the squirrel moved or if I did. I'm blaming the squirrel.
