This bridge is located immediately after entering Glacier National Park from the east side on the Going-To-The-Sun Road. I have been told it is one of a couple of bridges Forrest crossed on his famous run.
Well, we really do wish we were on the road. We take our annual vacation at this time most years, but of course it is not the case this year. I pulled up my images of our trip out West in 2017 and reworked a few of them in Luminar 4. I did a little sky work on this one. Hopefully soon the family vacation will return again.
(There is a scene in the movie Forrest Gump of him running on this road and this is the place where he finally stopped running and went back home again. It is a very popular spot to stop and take a shot)

Monument Valley
Perhaps the most well-known feature of Forsyth Park is the large fountain that sits at the north end of Forsyth Park. The fountain was constructed in 1858. It has been remodeled several times, the latest being in 1988. It resembles a few other fountains found around the world, including fountains found in Paris and Peru. All around the Forsyth Park Fountain are benches. On any given day you can find many people, especially locals, lounging on the benches, taking in the scenery and great people watching that takes place in this area of the park.
Really??
Forrest Gump's momma always said... well, it'll be true!!

'You never know what you're gonna get...'
-Jenny, Forrest Gump
I am not sure why but when I saw this scene as we were driving past I yelled, "stop!" It reminded me so much of the scene in Forrest Gump where Jenny and Forrest are praying in the corn field. I couldn't get it out of my head. I guess it touched me in a way and I had to share.

Entrada Gratuïta:
¿Cuánto tiempo dedicamos a pensar? Los tiempos que corren están fomentando esta práctica abandonada.
Para todos aquellos que aman la fotografía y sienten su belleza más allá de los intereses personales,
muy, muy difficil.....
Un bel tuffo tra i colori...................
Mi sono sempre piaciuti i bambini, purtroppo è un grosso sacrificio farli, ci sono troppi interessi, troppe cose da fare,
ci circondiamo spesso di cose inutili, che un giorno vedrete che non conteranno niente,...certi valori della vita si stanno perdendo,
e purtroppo non ce ne accorgiamo.
Dedicata a :
Quelli che a volte le parole non bastano, e allora servono i colori.
Questa è troppo difficile da capire...!!!!!!!!!

Buenas noches, come disse" ForrestGump", sono un pò stanchino....., dopo avere fatto oltre 600 Km in una giornata
....Dan !
Google Forrest Gump tired of running
One of America's most impressive road vistas (in Monument Valley UT) is the scene one sees while travelling southwest from Mexican Hat, Utah on Highway US 163 ....30 minutes outside Kayenta,AZ
Yes, there is a sign that marks the spot where Forrest Gump stops running and says he's tired and going home, lol!
Just outside Monument Valley, Utah, on Highway 163 is this spot where a scene from Forest Gump was filmed. He was running across America followed by a large crowd of groupies, and abruptly decided to stop running at this spot. Even on Google maps, it's now officially called out as "Forrest Gump Point".
It was extremely windy this day, and dust filled the air. Shortly after this was taken, a huge dust storm enveloped the area obscuring everything.

Perhaps best known today from the 1994 Paramount film "Forrest Gump," the Marshall Point Light was established in 1832. The current structure was built in 1857 and marks the entrance to Port Clyde, Maine. It is still an active aid to navigation. The lighthouse was automated in 1980.
I really wasn't sure what to post this morning, then I discovered a comment from Madeleine, who had recently commented on the feather I had posted a few days ago. Pushapoze Madeleine added a link to the theme tune from Forrest Gump which seemed perfect. "The first song is played while the hero watches a feather fly by." Thank you Madeleine

Nairn is a town and former burgh in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is an ancient fishing port and market town around 16 miles east of Inverness. It was the county town of the wider county of Nairn also known as Nairnshire.
The town is now best known as a seaside resort, with two golf courses, a small theatre and one small museum, providing information on the local area and incorporating the collection of the former Fishertown museum.

Highway 163 is famous due to the movie Forrest Gump. But this photo is taken further down to where the exact location of the movie. Some scenes of the Transformer was also shot here. Had to handheld this shot because we were running out of time, we had to head back to Page. But anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy it!
Thanks for the faves & comments guys!
This photo is the famed Forrest Gump spot...It also is the a amazing view of Monument Valley.
Only a few more miles and you are in Arizona!

My third installment in the Wax Nostalgic:1994 show back in 2018, where I mashed two movies from that year together; you may have seen my previous shots of Pulp Ventura and Natural Born Airheads. Everyone who participated in these artworks are local musicians in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. I couldn’t decide which scene I liked best of the ones I took. There’s Jay and Silent Bob in front of the QuikMart hassling Forrest as he runs past Lt. Dan, and there’s Forrest offering Jay a “chocolate”. So I mashed the mashup together. Total mashness. This was so much fun!!
When one arrives here, on this stretch of road, on this infinite straight line of asphalt which leads the eye and the driver into an absolutely world famous landmark, it is literally impossible not to halt the car, step down and take a photo. Doesn't matter how many times one passes from here, he must stop. And when the sky is like this one, no excuses.
Beautiful sunrise off the Gulf coast of Dauphin Island Alabama. A sight to behold. It was a pleasure to see the dolphins following the boats for easy meals.

The iconic butte towering above the juniper tree in this photograph is called "The West Mitten". It rises above the desert floor in southeastern Utah's Monument Valley. There are two other buttes nearby (one can be seen in the distance to the right of The West Mitten). The Navajo name for all three of these hills is "three rocks sitting there". They are key landmarks in Monument Valley and among the most well-known flat-topped buttes in America. Countless Hollywood films have used this sandy region as a backdrop, from Stagecoach (1939) to Forrest Gump (1993). More modern advertisements and TV commercials are shot in Monument Valley than anywhere else on earth.
Native to the southwestern United States, Juniper trees that vary in size and shape are often seen on the dry desert floor of Monument Valley. Juniper wood is the preferred building material of Navajos for hogans and sweat lodges. The Navajos also use the ash from the Juniper in a thick syrup for cough and sore throat. The most fascinating Navajo use of juniper, however, is for spiritual purposes. This tree is grounding, anchoring us all to the Colorado Plateau, yet also is etheric, acting as a bridge between the worlds. The pollen, released in late winter, is used in Navajo ceremony. A wonderful tradition, still alive today, is the making of juniper bead necklaces. Navajo women painstakingly collect and drill holes in the seeds, making lovely necklaces, plain or with colored seed beads. Babies and people of all ages wear these necklaces for protection on their life journeys.
