Da qualche parte, guidando in Arizona
aprile 2012. Buona serata! :)
Just outside of Phoenix Arizona.
I spotted a wild looking tree against a pretty red, white, and blue sky at sunset.
We moved from the east coast to Arizona and quickly became aware of the new wild, landscapes of the desert...there is always some interesting looking tree or cactus, that looks beautiful sillouetted against the big sky.
Feel free to use my images, I like the publicity but please credit the photos.
Thank you!

Living in the shadow of a monolith. Monument Valley, Navajo Nation, Arizona - San Juan County, Utah. This picture was taken from quite a distance with a simple point and shoot camera. Check out the vegetation growing on top of the formation.

Hubby won a three-night trip to the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I've never seen desert conditions before. It was a great trip and a fantastic photo opportunity.
With the Hummingbirds, I started doing full-manual burst photography. I set myself up for failure: I didn't have my tripod on me, it's rather hard to hold my telescopic steady when it's at it's full length and the feeders were all in shade, so I had to crank the ISO. For all of that, I think I got a few good shots.
Edit: Oh my, Explore? Wow. Thank you, everyone.
National Park made up of clay and mudstone from volcanic ash. Contains iron and manganese compounds which provide the colors.

Monument Valley, Navajo Nation, Arizona - San Juan County, Utah. The formations with needles sticking up are called "mittens". I think the needle seen at right looks like a monk gazing out over the valley..
The Grand Canyon is a colorful steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The canyon, created by the Colorado River over a period of 6 million years, is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of more than a mile (1.6 km). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.
During prehistory, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it.
The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
The Grand Canyon was largely unexplored until after the U.S. Civil War. In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran with a thirst for science and adventure, made the first recorded journey through the canyon on the Colorado River. He accomplished this trek with nine men in four small wooden boats, though only six men completed the journey. Powell referred to the sedimentary rock units exposed in the canyon as "leaves in a great story book".

Leaving Flagstaff, Arizona and heading north you run into the Painted Desert. The Painted Desert is the name for a broad area of colorful badlands located in Northern Arizona in the United States. The desert stretches from the Grand Canyon National Park into the Petrified Forest National Park and runs roughly astride and just north of the Little Colorado and the Puerrco Rivers. The area within the Petrified Forest National Wilderness is also known as the Painted Desert Wilderness. Much of the Painted Desert region is located within the Navajo Nation. The Navajo and the Hopi people have lived in the region for at least five hundred, and one thousand years, respectively. However, the modern name for the desert comes from the Spaniards who named it "el Desierto Pintado" due to its brightly colored landscape.
The desert comprises stratified layers of mineral and decayed organic matter. Many hardened dunes can be found. These hardened dunes are visually distinct due to the bands of grays, reds, oranges and yellows which are then shaped by natural wind and rain patterns.

State Route 264 is a highway in northeastern Arizona that runs from its junction with US 160 in Tuba City to the border with New Mexico. The roadway is still numbered 264 into New Mexico to its junction with US 491.
The western terminus of SR 264 is located at a junction with US 160 in Tuba City. The highway heads towards the southeast and then south from this junction until it reaches BIA Route 6710. At this junction, SR 264 begins to heads towards the southeast. It continues on this heading until it curves towards the south southeast of Coal Mine Mesa. The highway curves back towards the east and then north as it follows the terrain of the area. The highway curves back towards the east just prior to an intersection with BIA Route 6660. It continues towards the east to a junction with BIA Route 62 where SR 264 curves towards the southeast. The highway curves towards the south just prior to passing through Hotevilla. It curves back towards the east when it reaches Old Oraibi. The highway curves back towards the south until it reaches the northern terminus of SR 87 in Second Mesa. From here, it heads east, passing through Polacca and Keams Canyon. SR 264 continues to the southeast until it curves back toward the east at an intersection with BIA Route 6. SR 264 continues east to a junction with US 191 in Burnside and the two run concurrently until they reach Ganado. US 191 heads south from this junction as SR 264 heads east. SR 264 continues east to Window Rock just prior to crossing the New Mexico border and continuing as New Mexico State Route 264. SR 264 is one of two major east–west routes crossing the expansive Navajo Indian Reservation, the other being US 160. It also bisects the Hopi Reservation. Much of this territory is sparsely inhabited and is home to wide open, scenic vistas. While it does not pass through any large cities or towns, it does pass through Window Rock, seat of government for the Navajo Nation, as well as near Old Oraibi, which is generally considered the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in North America.
