Escalante is such a cool place. I spent a couple days exploring a remote section of the southern Utah specifically Escalante. I've been wanting to go here for some time after seeing photos of the area. The hike lived up to it expectations as we hiked over 18 miles down and up a canyon coming around incredible rock formations, arches and colorful cottonwoods. We hiked up a waterfall coming across the amazing rock formation. I wonder what the Anasazí Indians who made this canyon their home thought of this place.

How fitting for this young osprey that will be heading off shortly for where ever they go until March.
While taking these captures of the osprey by the nest I met another gentleman that was there for the football season ... handing out equipment to the young players showing up at the school field where this nest is located.
He was laughing at me while we were talking and I kept trying to line up the Southwest Airlines airplanes as they were heading past on their flight route into BWI Airport that is about 25 miles away. About every minute they came past there in the evening ... and each time I was attempting to line them up and catch them flying by. Took about 5 attempts until one lined up just right. Not an easy thing to do by eye and then focus for that moment.
The silly things we do ... try ;)
A 7-shot stitched panorama of what's left of the fog quickly fleeing Southwest Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Maine.
Driving down Seawall Road as I was leaving Bass Harbor, the fog obscured all of the lobster boats and sailboats in the Southwest Harbor. By the time I could park my car and run down the pier, most of the mist had already dissipated, leaving this soft background instead.

This was shot last November in Utah. This is either Peek a Boo Canyon or Spooky Canyon. If anyone that knows the difference please let me know. As you can see this is a very narrow canyon. It was one of those where you go sideways and pass your camera backpack through to make your way down the canyon. At the end it opens up considerably to where you literally slide out and drop 4-5 feet. Very cool.
Guess what I did this morning? Yes, I got up and froze my butt off for this shot that thousands have taken before me. It was still an awesome sunrise to witness.

The three photos that I am posting today were taken on a moving vehicle as we rode from Chinle, Arizona to Monument Valley.Taking a photo from a moving tour bus is a challenge due to a number of factors. First, there's the speed of the vehicle. At highway speed objects come up quickly and are soon passed by. Secondly, there's the window factor. Is the window tinted? Is it covered with travel dust? Is the shade partly pulled down by the passenger in front? Thirdly, the lighting. Sun position creates a reflection factor totally out of your control. Fourthly is your seating position and whether you need to shoot around another passenger. Lastly is the shutter speed of your camera. Without a fast speed the odds of capturing a passing scene are minimal.

Rare visitor with a very colorful scheme! This B737-300 with winglets is ex Southwest Airlines (not so hard to see) N361SW. It's now going to Nigerian operator Air Peace, and arrived here in Fortaleza for a very quick fuel stop before heading to Africa on delivery flight. Very cool to see the Southwest scheme here, even if it's just the basic colors. Nice to see this Classic 737 having a second life!

A classic Southwest sunset just outside Phoenix Az. This has to be one of the most beautiful areas in the US. Some people say it's just desert, I say, spend a few evenings there and you'll change your mind.
Thanks for stopping by

I'm back to posting new shots of my recent trip to the southwest, though it was more than a month ago. We're getting ready for the final countdown of our Monday move, so I haven't been out and about camera in hand lately.
I have to say that there are excellent memories of the trip. The landscape was amazing, I leaned more about the Indians of the southwest (past and present) an met some very good people. It was definetly on of my more memorable trips.
