Jasper, Jean and I are exploring Southern Utah this week. This morning we found a couple of slot canyons near Kanab. Though a bit too wet for a thorough exploration, it was still very cool. Even at 12 years old, Jasper hiked like a champ.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot).
This royal castle was built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence.
The castle was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859. The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
An image shot last year that I thought never came out "right". This new take is closer to my first impression.
The "Zebra Slot Canyon" is one of the worthwhile destinations in the "Hole in the Rock Road" area near Escalante, part of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, best in later morning with indirect light.
At the beginning of November 2016 I was again in this canyon, but it was full of brackish, cold water, so I could not reach the photographically interesting area as in the picture.
Der "Zebra Slot Canyon" ist eines der lohnenswerten Ziele im Bereich der Hole in the Rock Road nahe Escalante, Teil des Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Anfang November 2016 war ich erneut in diesem Canyon, der aber voll brackigem, kalten Wasser stand, so dass ich den fotografisch interessanten Bereich wie auf dem Bild nicht erreichen konnte.

The Taylor River squeezes through some narrow spots, including Tod's Slot. The rocks in the slot back up some of the water, making it tricky or fun (depending on skill level) for kayakers to get through this gracefully.
The headwaters of the Taylor River are in the Elk Mountains and Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness. The river pauses at Taylor Reservoir, but continues to Almont, where it meets the East River to form the Gunnison River.
Het Slot Haamstede is een oud kasteel dat ligt in het dorp Haamstede op Schouwen-Duiveland. De beroemdste bewoner van dit slot was Witte van Haamstede, een bastaardzoon van graaf Floris V.
In 1973 is het kasteel gerestaureerd, en in 1981 werd het, met kasteelbos en uitgestrekt duingebied, verkocht aan de Vereniging Natuurmonumenten.

Most people go to Vegas to have fun in the casinos. I tend to go to Vegas to visit family and explore the sights outside the city... whether it be Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire State Park depicted here.
Of course, the key is to go during the cooler months, when the temperatures aren't north of 100°F. Timing is everything. In this case, we hiked all around Valley of Fire the first week of April this year, and the following week the temperatures reached 99°F and higher. We camped with our dogs for the first time, and they enjoyed the hikes, but not the windy nights. Obviously, there was enough breeze during the day to kick up some sand in the slots, which made them a bit brighter and added to the aura. For my money, these slots pay out better than the ones on the strip any day of the week.

Macro Mondays 'holes' theme.
I took several different photos for this week's 'holes' theme, then dithered about which one to upload, finally deciding on this one of a dark grey plastic slotted serving spoon. It's hangs on a rack and is rarely used as you can tell by the dreaded macro dust!
The image measures 1.25" in width

While on a trip to the Southwest I discovered a hidden slot canyon. As I walked through the winding cavern, light trickled down from above casting shadows and highlights on the walls and floor.
This is not Antelope Canyon in Page Arizona., this is just outside of Blanding Utah in the desert.
Thanks for stopping by
Slot canyon hiking can be one of the most interesting and challenging activities in red rock canyon country. Over eons of storms, slot canyons were formed by racing water and the tumble of boulders and other debris leaving interesting patterns and colors in the sandstone.
Navigating the large boulders, steep talus slopes, and deep pools requires special gear and skills to maneuver.
The most important skill is possession of a conservative mindset when it comes to when to hike down a slot canyon, and more importantly, when not to hike. Flashfloods can blossom into catastrophic events even when there is little or no precipitation in the immediate vicinity. Far away mountains and plateaus are carved with numerous rivulets, washes, and creeks that funnel rain water into many slot canyons.
My words here come from an experience of having to climb up out of an approaching flashflood and watching many flashfloods from a distance over the years. Stay safe!

We drove to Zion National Park for the day. The park was so crowded with people it seemed that everyone else had the same idea. It probably seemed even more crowded to us because we have spent so much time in remote places recently. We decided to leave but on the way out happened to snag a parking spot along the road. Then we dropped down into the wash which runs below the road. We hiked a few miles along the wash and ran into very few people, most of them stayed up near the road. We found several lovely slot canyons.
We traversed Wire Pass, a slot canyon near Kenab, Utah. Some sections of the canyon are very narrow; one can touch each side; other sections are wider. It's an exciting narrow canyon that is quite popular even though one has to travel over 8 miles down a heavily rutted and often slippery dirt road that can be impassable after rain in order to get to the trailhead.
We recently spent an hour at an Alpaca farm with our family whom we haven’t seen in a year. It was a small farm that reserved the hour time slot just for our little group. We had the pleasure of watching our one year old grandson visit with several animals on the farm. We were all able to touch the Alpaca and feel their amazing fur. What a joy to see the world through the eyes of a child. In this image, you can see my daughter and I standing in the doorway and being reflected in the eye of this animal. We experienced great joy connecting with family finally!
