Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona-Utah state line near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation

The Two Buttes 4,711’ (1,436 m) in southeastern Colorado is a prominent double-capped butte rising 356 feet (109 m) above the surrounding plains.
The Two Buttes was certainly known by the native Americans of the region (Comanche, Kiowa and Arapaho) and known to the Spanish of New Mexico (perhaps as early as 1706). However, no oral history, cartographic depiction, or written description of this unique feature of the Colorado plains have been found in indigenous or Spanish-colonial records.
The first known written description was made by an American trapper/trader, Jacob Fowler, passing through what was then Spanish territory (now southeastern Colorado) in June 1822.

I haven't seen any adults yet this season, I will put an image of an adult in the first comment box. And, yes, at this stage of development they are officially known as Fluffy Butts.
Kudzu (left) and Lily are best friends, and often enjoy a little horseplay. They're gently butting heads here, but reserving their energy to stay warm in the frigid temperatures at Belmont Audubon Habitat.
A pair of Union Railroad buttheads bring a hot slab train out of the tunnel at Dravosburg. The hot slabs were bound for US Steel's Irvin Works, and were hot enough that you could feel the heat coming off of them as they rolled by.
Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns; critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".

Coyote Buttes South, Arizona
Another shot from the Christmas trip. There are two area of Coyote Buttes South and this is from Cottonwood Cove. It is a larger area and has more fun to play with. It started to snow from the morning and the snow almost lasted the whole day. We drove a few miles of sandy road in snow and got there at noon. The weather was so bad we can't even see what was a few hundred feet away so we waited. After an hour or so it got a little better so we decided to give it a try. And glad we did. It started to clear little by little and the different view brought by fresh powder was fantastic.
Thanks for stopping by!
Coyote Buttes South is less visited than the North and access is difficult which is good for me... less crowd.

“There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”

Well, somebody said a participant to the masturi forgot his pant... this is not exactly the case as going bare-butted like this is traditional for men during a matsuri. I have seen nicer butts, but this is the best I could shoot.
From wikipedia (as suggested by myasu), some explanation about this outfit:
Fundoshi (褌?) is the traditional Japanese undergarment for adult males, made from a length of cotton. Before World War II the fundoshi was the main form of underwear for Japanese adult males; however it went out of use quickly after the war with the advent of new underwear, such as briefs and trunks, on the Japanese market.
Nowadays, the fundoshi is mainly used not as underwear but as festival (matsuri) clothing at Hadaka Matsuri or, sometimes, as swimwear.
There are several types of fundoshi, including rokushaku, kuroneko, mokko and etchū.
The rokushaku fundoshi is a length of cloth, the dimensions being one shaku (34 cm / 14 inches) wide and six shaku (2.3 m / 92 to 96 inches) long; roku is Japanese for six, hence roku-shaku. The fundoshi is often twisted to create a thong effect at the back.
Etchū fundoshi is also a length of cloth, however it has a strip of material at the waist to form a fastening or string. The dimensions are 14 inches width by about 40 inches length, and it is tied with the material strip in front of the body. Etchū fundoshi was the form of fundoshi most popular among Japanese adult males as underwear from early 1900s to the end of the World War II.
No, this is not the world famous Wave, though it is in the general vicinity. the Wave has 400+ applicants each day for 20 permits. One can still get permits to this area, tho I do not know for how much longer. Tour groups are now bring their truck loads of clients, much to my dismay.
kills.
sorry for the blurry picture. i was giggling and thinking "i wonder what would happen if i put a coin in it?"

The Pawnee Buttes are two prominent buttes located within the Pawnee National Grassland in Weld County, of northeastern Colorado. Rising approximately 300 feet above the surrounding plains, the buttes are erosional remnants left standing in isolation as the surrounding High Plains surface has gradually worn away. The lower portions of the buttes are composed of relatively soft, clay-rich sedimentary rock called the Brule formation. The Brule formation is protected by an overlying layer of sandstone and conglomerate sediments called the Arikaree formation, which are more resistant to weathering. - Wikipedia
Well, not a great shot since I scared my model away -- but I found her butt compelling, lol. I love these colors. Shot handheld with a Quantaray 50mm F2.8 Tech-10 macro lens in available light.
The things one learns about. You can buy a toilet seat lifter, a hard plastic ring that elevates your rear a few inches. Why on earth would you do this? Well, imagine if you couldn't bend your leg to sit. All of a sudden the bathroom seems a whole lot smaller, as your fully extended fiberglass extension hits the wall in front of you. Lift your rump a few inches, and you can pull your foot closer in towards you.
I ran a full minute exposure while burying a blue LED under the lifter. It glowed very appealingly, like a cheap effect from an 80s video.
