These are some of the namesake white sandstone formations of White Pocket, in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, northern Arizona
I'd seen pictures of White Pocket in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona from my flickr friends and decided I had to go there. I rented a 4WD vehicle in Page, Utah to get out there and it was expensive but definitely worth it to see this amazing place.
Wishing all my flickr friends health, happiness and lots of great photography in 2023.
I just got a few minutes of sunlight through a break in the clouds in the late afternoon at White Pocket in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. Of course I was hoping for a nice sunset but that didn't happen the day I was there, so I may have to go back.
Last time we were at the Wave, we met with a scary isolated thunderstorm. We only spent approximately half an hour wandering about this area and didn't even have time to look for the 2nd Wave before the rain started pouring on us. I still have an itch to head back. But getting the permit is quite a challenge. I might have to stay in Page for a few days to try my luck.
At a place like White Pocket in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument you hope for a sunset to match with the amazing landscape. On the day I visited the sunset conditions initially looked promising as this shot shows, but it never lit up the clouds where I needed them to go with the landscape.... It was still a fantastic day, though, just to be out there.
Can you see the crocodile?
Rock formations and colors draw me and hold my attention--I don't need cute names. But when I first noticed this formation, the crocodile jumped out at me, and my mind would not let go of that first impression.

Edgar the raven was an unexpected guest on our arrival at the marvellous sandstone formation - the Wave. Edgar was quite the opportunist - lingering within the heart of the Wave, in anticipation for permit-holders to drop their belongings and pause for photos in awe of the surrounding beauty. We watched as Edgar would swoop again and again, snatching bagels and biscuits and returning to its spiralling perch, as pictured.
The historic bridge was finished in 1928 to provide an alternative to Lee's Ferry which was upstream. The modern bridge was completed in 1995 to enable handling of heavier trucks. The historic bridge is 18 feet wide and the modern bridge is 44 feet wide. The old bridge is used for pedestrians. Both bridges are more than 450 feet above the Colorado River in the canyon below. The Vermillion Cliffs are nearby. Wilbur is at the fence below.
Happy Fence Friday!
Is it insane to drive 600 miles to take a picture?
I will call it passion, for now!
(others say I have a problem) LOL
How awesome is the world we live in? Do not waste any more time get out and see it!

Out of everything on this trip, and usually, on most trips, what I look forward to the most is an experience with pure wilderness. On this trip, that came in the form of Vermillion Cliffs National Monument and White Pocket.
Coincidentally, it's also the Bureau of Land Management's anniversary, today. The BLM is under The Department of the Interior, but is managed differently than The National Park Service. With this in mind, public land usage on BLM land can include grazing, fracking, mining, and could even be sold off by the federal government, which is currently a possibility. On the anniversary of this arm of The Department of The Interior, it’s an apt time to remember what their mission statement is: “to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.”
To me, that reads no differently than 1916 Organic Act that created The National Park Service and protects the wonders of the American landscape. And when you consider places like White Pocket, nestled in the wilderness of Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, it should be apparent that no matter what branch of Interior is caring for it, the importance of saving and protecting these landscapes is paramount.
Buried deep in the wilderness of Arizona and down wild dirt roads that require a 4x4, White Pocket is a surreal and ethereal wonderland of carved and sculptural sandstone, stretching and undulating almost as far as the eye can see. It’s impossible to go to this amazing place and not be spellbound and to not let your imagination wander and try and make sense of the exquisite colors and textures at your feet. Places like this are a gift and a challenge. This is what is so vital and what needs to be protected at all costs.
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR. Speak up and defend what is yours.
Arizona is a land of great wonder and beauty. It's landscapes make for beautiful art works. There are unlimited places to visit and enjoy. The cactus spread out across the landscape creating iconic images that speak of 'Southwest. The sky at sunset is often brilliant with color. Everywhere you look are the Red Rock Mountains which glow with color at sunrise and sunset.

Music sometimes brings me to a place...like this song:
ALIVE
Days slow by my window
World slows down as it goes
Goodbye to last night
Can you describe to me
All the world that you see?
Oh, I need it so much
I'm just waiting

"EN CONCLUSIÓN
Me gustaría decir: amo profundamente el cine; adoro pescar ideas y me encanta meditar. Me entusiasma estimular la unidad. Y creo que la estimulación de la unidad trae consigo una vida mejor. Tal vez la iluminación todavía quede lejos, pero se dice que cuando caminas hacia la luz, a cada paso que das, las cosas brillan más. Para mí, cada día es mejor. Y creo que estimular la unidad en el mundo traerá la paz a esta tierra. Así que: paz para todos.
Que todo el mundo sea feliz. Que todo el mundo esté libre de enfermedades.
Que haya buenos auspicios por doquier. Que nadie conozca el sufrimiento.
Paz."
