Willink Entrance Comfort Station at Prospect Park.Believe it or not,it's one of the restrooms locations at the park.The limestone and yellow brick structure was built in 1912.It kind of looks like a Spanish villa house.The restrooms are underneath the Tuscan columns off to the left and right.The park's maintenance office is on the right side.
When you gotta go, you gotta.....sometimes wait.
We decided to wait for fear of the facilities driving away while we were using them.
...im Haus von le Corbusier.
Für alle, die das andere schon spartanisch fanden ;-)))

Bench Obsession - Chapter 2
Neighbor: “Hi Neighbor!”
Wife: “Hey, how are you?”
Neighbor: “Great. How did that photo of the benches at the restaurant Steve took last week go over?”
Wife: “Pretty good. He got some nice comments that made him smile.”
Neighbor: “That’s great. So has his obsession with benches subsided a little after that?”
Wife: “Are you kidding? This has now become an every Monday thing.”
Neighbor: “Seriously?”
Wife: “Seriously. We drove to see my family over the weekend and do you know what he did?”
Neighbor: “What?”
Wife: “We hadn’t gone more than an hour down the road and he asked me if I needed to stop at a rest stop.”
Neighbor: “So? That sounds like a nice, considerate thing to do.”
Wife: “I thought so too, especially since he HATES rest stops. I pointed out we had only been on the road for less than an hour.”
Neighbor: “What did he say to that?”
Wife: “He said we never know how far it will be until the next rest stop. I pointed to the sign that said ‘Next Rest Stop - 37 miles.’”
Neighbor: “What’s wrong with rest stops anyway?”
Wife: “When he’s in driving mode all he wants to do is make time. He says rest stops are inefficient.”
Neighbor: “Why’s that?”
Wife: “He makes me hold it until we can find some kind of convenience store right off the exit where we can fill up with gas, use the restrooms, and grab some quick snacks all at once like a bleeping Formula 1 pit stop.”
Neighbor: “Yikes.”
Wife: “What’s more, he asked AFTER we drove by it!”
Neighbor: “So?”
Wife: “He NEVER goes backwards. Once he hits the road he wouldn’t go back if he left our son behind.”
Neighbor: “What happened?”
Wife: “He turns around and drives back to the rest stop, all the while claiming he just wants me to have a comfortable, relaxing drive.”
Neighbor: “That wasn’t sweet?”
Wife: “I wondered who he was and what did he do with my husband?”
Neighbor: “So what happened?”
Wife: “Well I decided I might as well go with him to the bathroom since we stopped anyway, but he told me to go on without him.”
Neighbor: ::gulp:: “Why?
Wife: “He said he wanted to grab his camera first.”
Neighbor: “Take his camera to a bathroom? That sounds a little bit creepy.”
Wife: ::sigh:: “Anyway, I finish my business, go back to the car, and he’s nowhere in sight. About 15 minutes later he comes back from the restroom looking at his camera with a big grin and giggling.”
Neighbor: “Oh my. Did you see who he took a photo of?”
Wife: “Not who – what.”
Neighbor: “you don’t mean…”
Wife: “Yup, benches.”
Neighbor: “Benches?”
Wife: “Benches.”
Neighbor: "He saw them before he turned around, didn't he?"
Wife: "Yup."
Neighbor: "What did he have to say for himself?"
Wife: “Happy Bench Monday!”

This is one of the iconic arches in the Arches/Canyonlands area.
I decided to try something different from the traditional shots taken here by using a fisheye lens and setting the tripod low to the ground to avoid the sun getting into the image.
This was a five image HDR.
This is probably my favorite shot from my trip.
Back in the Florida heat and humidity now. Big change.....
And words of wisdom to the traveler who may be headed out to the Moab area: Grand Junction Airport is the closest airport to the Moab Area. The Moab airport is very small and chances of getting a flight there are small. It's about 114 miles from Moab to Grand Junction. And as I learned last Saturday during my drive, there is only one restroom between Arches NP and I-70 Eastbound if you're taking US 191. That's at the freeway entrance at Crescent Junction. If you don't stop there, be warned.
From I-70 East at Crescent Junction until Exit 19 near Fruita Colorado, about 70 miles, there's not one single restroom to be found. Not even an outhouse.
So if nature calls, and you're opposed to using one of the lovely Juniper Trees which borders I-70 East in Western Colorado, you're screwed.
You've been warned. Have a great week and see you out in the field.
