Strong spring sunshine on Mothering Sunday gave way to hazy evening light, possibly the result of Saharan dust. View west from Dawlish Warren nature reserve, looking over the golf course and railway line, towards Eastdon Woods and the wind turbine near Dawlish Countryside Park.

September 11, 2024 - "Indian Watchtower at Desert View (1932). The Indian Watchtower at Desert View (1932), the last of this series of Colter buildings, stands at the eastern end of the south rim of the grand Canyon. From a distance the building's silhouette looks like the Anasazi watchtower it was meant to mimic. In plan the structure is composed of one enormous circle at the north, a small circle at the south, and gently arched forms connecting the two. As Virginia L. Grattan wrote in Mary Colter Builder Upon the Red Earth, "The Indian watchtower at Desert View was not a copy, but what Colter called a 're-creation' of an Indian watchtower." Standing at 70 feet, with a 30-foot base, the tower was unique in having a concrete foundation and a steel framework well hidden in the stones of the tower. The ground level of the tower was a large, round observation room with a spectacular view of the Grand Canyon. Upstairs the Hopi Room presents paintings by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie, who took the room's theme from the Hopi Snake Dance. An outdoor observation deck is directly above the observation room." I took the above text from a photograph I took from my 2015 visit however the link no longer is viable but I am still including it here. Text was from the following website:

September 11, 2024 - We had an unscheduled stop at Navajo Moenave Dinosaur Tracks located in Navajo Nation. "Dinosaur Bone Joe" showed us the dinosaur fossils including: footprints, a skull, legs and even dinosaur eggs.

 

"Bring out your inner-child and go pounce and stomp among real dinosaur footprints! You might even want to invite your actual child to come along for this long-awaited, adventure opportunity. Just 70 miles outside of Flagstaff in Tuba City, located in the Navajo Nation, is a place where evidence of dinosaurs can be experienced first-hand. There are no glass exhibits with carefully cut, stone pieces of fossilized footprints; just actual dinosaur tracks all over a section along the bench below Hamblin Ridge.

 

These dinosaur tracks were formed in the early Jurassic period, approximately 200 million years ago and have been verified by paleontologists from Northern Arizona University. The specific type of dinosaur that left these footprints cannot be determined, therefore these are called "trace fossils". Trace fossils are classified by the shape of the prints and the type and layer of the rock the fossil is found on, which determines its age. With this information, it can be assumed these footprints belonged to the carnivorous dinosaurs Eubrontes, Grallator, Coelophysis kayentakatae or Dilophosaurus wetherilli."
