More US holiday pics

Monument valley Flight in a Cessna, I was in the Co- pilot's seat and couldn't see over the cockpit:rolleyes: I had to twist sideways to take pics and without getting the wing strut in the way, had a stiff neck after the first 30 pics.:D
you get a different view from the plane.









Rainbow Bridge.


Leaving Monument Valley towards Lake Powell.


One of Lake Powells meanders.


Distant storm clouds over Glen Canyon and Lake Powell, taken from boat trip.

 

Great pictures. great memories.

 

Beautiful pictures again, strongy ... you must still be flying high ....

 

What a wonderful way to sightsee! I think this way you really got to appreciate it all, more than if you'd been driving along.

Fantastic shots again, Strongy, thanks for sharing. :thumb::thumb:

 

OMG!!!:eek:...What wonderful scenery Strongy...Thanks for sharing the photo's mateA holiday of a life time or what:thumb:

 

Welcome back Strongy.

Some holiday you've had there mate.
Been looking through some of your pics. and see it was no ordinary summer holiday.
The Grand Canyon was fantastic and the Monument Valley landscapes awesome.
The wild life pics too..............That camera's done you proud.

 

Lots of old memories for me strongy.
it still looks the same.

Is that sunrise over Monument Valley?

Rainbow bridge from the air, I saw it from the ground.

Nice to know they've not built a load of house there, yet.:D

 

Bryce Canyon, Utah. this is more an amphitheartre than a canyon but the amazing orange and white colours of the Hoodoos (needles) was jaw dropping.

 

Pete, the flight was around 9am so sun was already up.
Here at Bryce we had just missed a thunder storm.

 

As I remember Bryce is a fair bit higher than the Grand Canyon.
Rubys inn comes to mind:D

Smaller but more intricate, than GC.

Its amazing what the weather can do to a bit of sandstone.

 

yep Rubys Inn (resort) is still there, stayed overnight.

 

I bet its bigger now.

Who the hell was ruby?:D

 

Fantastic pics Strongy, bet you will have some wonderful memories :thumbs:

 

Brilliant, I love the last photo
