The Briol Main House is located in the Isarco Valley in Barbiano - Tre Chiese at 1'310 m above sea level. A jump into an ice-cold pool is not for everyone, but it certainly becomes a passion for those, who are in the search of such an unspoilt piece of earth. The building was planned by the artist Hubert Lanzinger in 1928 and it is one of the very rare testimonies of the Bauhaus building style in the Alps. Created from stone and wood with a flat roof. Columns, immense windows for a house in the middle of the mountains without heating and with Spartan furnishing.
UP C30-7s No. 2962 and 2963 lead a PVSC down the north slope of Point of the Mountain near Draper, Utah on Nov. 12, 1977. Do you remember when the Salt Lake Valley had wide open spaces?
The Monument Valley Road can be glimpsed below as it snakes toward the buttes in the valley.
Happy Sun Ray Sunday!
Some of the Buttes closest to the visitors centre in Monument Valley.
Although it wasn't the clearest day the views were still amazing.
The cars on the road give an idea of just how immense these rocks are.
This gateway leads into the Capitol Gorge area of Capitol Reef National Park.
As we viewed sheer cliffs in many places on this trip, like the cliff on the left, we wondered what massive force(s) would make an almost perfectly flat slab of vertical rock loosen itself and fall. Just one of the many things that come to mind when beholding such natural marvels.
The term reef in this context had puzzled me because I normally thought of a reef in an aquatic setting. Wikipedia, however, comes to the rescue. In a dry land setting, “… reef refers to any rocky barrier to land travel, just as ocean reefs are barriers to sea travel.”

Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada, USA and was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968. It covers an area of almost 42,000 acres (17,000 ha)[3] and was dedicated in 1935. It derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays. This road reminded me of the movie Two Lane Blacktop from 1971 starring James Taylor and Dennis Wilson, I saw the original movie when it first ran...it became a cult movie.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas, at an elevation between 2,000–2,600 feet (610–790 m). It abuts the Lake Mead National Recreation Area at the Virgin River confluence. It lies in a 4 by 6 mi (6.4 by 9.7 km) basin.

One last image from last weekend's adventure at our local National Park. This long exposure from Valley View was the last image I shot last Saturday. It was bitter cold, but the company of other photographers was nice and warm. Good conversations and camaraderie as night set in, as the stars, cars, fog and clouds moved about.

Somewhere along the Utah and Arizona border by Monument Valley. That day the blue sky and clouds were incredible as there were showers in the area. We would drive in and out of the showers only to see sunshine and these clouds.
