Behind me was a 250 meter tall cliff. Funny how the rocks land when they erode out of the cliff. Also, glad I wasn't standing there when it happened!

A black and white landscape photo of several very large flat rocks on the left and a canyon on the right. The sky has a few small puffy clouds on and above the distant horizon. Four of the rocks on the left are lying flat in a stair step pattern with the lowest one nearest the camera. Three of the large bus sized rocks are leaning together standing straight up on end looking a bit like a teepee.

A black and white portrait photo of a large white wood cross toppled into a large cactus plant with many spiky branches. The cross is made of round milled wood and was painted white. It is still very white and the cactus is very dark in the B&W photo.

#Flowers #BloomScrolling #WildFlowers #Desert #Cactus #Photography #Darktable

A square color photo of a single cactus flower. The flower is bright red fading to a yellow in the center. Out of the center is a stamen that looks like a light red broccoli flowerette. From the middle of the stamen is a small bright green stigma. Out of focus cactus needles are seen in the background.

This is a very unusual rock image.

#VisitWithRespect #Archeology #Desert #Canyon #Travel #RoadTrip #Photography #Darktable

A color portrait photo of rock imagery pecked into a canyon wall. The canyon wall is mostly covered in dark patina but someone hundreds of years ago literally pecked the image of (perhaps) a person with their arms extended and pointing downward and their legs spread wide and similarly pointing downward in a ninety degree fashion. The pecking created a salt and pepper look in the figure's body. The head has eyes and a mouth and prominent ears sticking out. (Note: I only describe the image as they are regarded in modern culture for the benefit of those with limited or no vision. Generally, it is not recommended in Visit With Respect guidelines, established by local Natives, to imbue any meaning upon ancient rock images as we are not of the culture that made them.)

Cool Springs on Route 66 in Western Arizona. This is what it looked like ten years ago. Sadly, a new owner (I think), has completely trashed it out with garbage plastic souvenir displays and t-shirt racks in front of the building.

A color landscape photo of a small gas station made of rock. Three old style gas pumps are in front on the left. A very faded sign over the station's pump awning reads, "Cool Springs, Cabins, Tasty Food." The front doors are white. Red and yellow '50s style metal outdoor chairs are seen below a sign on the right side wall that reads, "Mobil." An oil pump island is seen on the far right. The landscape behind the station is desert and an interesting, likely volcanic plug geologic feature is seen on the far right. The sky is bright blue with a few wispy clouds on the far left.

Get your kicks at Ed's Camp on Route 66! Looks like the Kactus Kafe is a great place for some delicious roadkill delicacies!

A black and white landscape photo of a long abandoned roadside stop with gas station and a cafe. The buildings are painted white. There's a small water tower on the left. The background are rugged desert mountains. The branches of a long dead tree are seen directly behind the buildings. The sky is clear.
