Have a safe and sweet day dear Flickr friends !
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.
Godafoss (The Waterfall Of The Gods) is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall.
Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.

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.
Leaving us a waterdrop
To taste
Is it a taste of life, you say
Or
Is he pointing at the drop
Grab it
And it will be yours forever
It could be the Big Question
And perhaps you must find the time to explore and figure it all out
Am I tasting life
Am I doing the most of it
Are there things that I need to change in this life
Probably
At some level
Scary stuff
Isn't it
Or
It could be just as simple as,
Spring

It had snowed last Thursday and Friday without any wind. One of my favorite places to go in such conditions is the Garden of the Gods, a magnificent city park located not far from where we live. The rock formations with their sandstone red colors and the trees take on a magical appearance with a winter's blanket of snow and the right light. The clouds kept on into Saturday but broke nicely that afternoon. The snow had melted a bit, but still covered portions of the rock and trees. This shot was looking from the west into the Central Garden. I was hoping for a nice sunset but the clouds moved back in and, alas, there was no light show that evening. Oh well, next time!
Thanks for your views and comments!
“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.”

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.
Tune: Ancient Egyptian Music - Horus
“I, Horus, son of Osiris, claim the throne of the heavens as my birthright!" he shouted."What was once mine shall be mine again.Is there anyone who would challenge me?"
The gods flickered and glowed. A few scowled. ”
