This is the actual colour as I took this I did think of doing it in b/w but I like this original! I was down the bank looking up!
Although in Western cultures demons acquire the label of "evil", in Eastern cultures demons and gods are the two faces of the duality of our nature. Therefore, from the world of the Yokoai, a toast to wish us a year full of adventures, and perhaps some scares...
Was blessed with some great clouds and light in the Valley of the Gods on this visit to southern Utah. Needed about 20 Flickr friends with me at this setting, as it was pretty in every direction.
Had a wonderful sunset and into the night along this gravel road in the Valley of the Gods, located in southeast Utah. It was so quiet and peaceful there into the night, a break from the hot windy day that had proceeded this time.
This view caught my eye as I was heading along the road in the dark caught my eye as the moon vanished behind the large rock formations.
This all followed a wonderful steak and beer at the Swingin Steak House located in quiet Mexican Hat, Utah. A must stop and eat if you like meat :)
Our trip continues now farther into the west and little farther south ... into Arizona.

“But gods are born of ichor and nectar, their excellences already bursting from their fingertips. So they find their fame by proving what they can mar: destroying cities, starting wars, breeding plagues and monsters. All that smoke and savor rising so delicately from our altars. It leaves only ash behind.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe

Das Valley of the Gods ähnelt im Aussehen dem wesentlich bekannteren und touristisch erschlossenen Monument Valley und weist vergleichbare Sandsteintürme und Felsnadeln auf.
Der Mythologie der Navajo zufolge sind die Felsformationen Plätze der Stärke, an denen die Geister der Vorfahren wohnen, speziell im Valley of the Gods. Die markanten Sandsteintürme sind versteinerte Krieger des Stammes, die um persönlichen Schutz angerufen werden können. Sie stellen Leibwächter dar, deren Macht und Stärke die jungen Männer auf dem Weg in den Krieg begleitet.
The Valley of the Gods is similar in appearance to the much better known and more touristically developed Monument Valley and has comparable sandstone towers and sea stacks.
According to Navajo mythology, the rock formations are places of strength where ancestral spirits dwell, especially in the Valley of the Gods. The distinctive sandstone towers are petrified warriors of the tribe who can be invoked for personal protection. They represent bodyguards whose power and strength accompanies the young men on their way to war.
