This is the location for the final scene in the movie Thelma and Louise. It is a staggeringly beautiful place.

For Looking Close on Friday theme 'Toy Cars'.
Any resemblance to the iconic ending of Ridley Scott's 1991 film Thelma and Louise is purely intentional. But lacking a backdrop shot of the American West, I've had to substitute an image looking north to the Isle of Raasay from Skye.
I've had this idea for quite some time, but lacked an appropriate model car. When this theme came up, I checked out the local junk shop and found a model Mini Cooper and VW Beetle, neither of which were suitable. So went all out and 'shelled out' for this beautiful little Corgi MGB model convertible, never mind that it isn't a Thunderbird. A tricky part was finding snails that would be able to fit into the seats.
The weather remains total carp on Skye, with little respite from the generally poor conditions, so fortunately I have my snails to play with. Thanks to Maria for this week's theme - I've had hours of fun...
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

"Thelma & Louise Point" on the Colorado River on the Shafer Trail/Potash Road below Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah USA.
This is where they drove the car off the cliff at the end of the movie.
This is accessed from hwy 279 along the Colorado River northwest of Moab Utah that becomes the "Potash Road" that weaves through the colorful potash ponds and eventually ends up in Canyonlands National Park as the "Shafer Trail".

Southwold, England, UK.
Dunwich Beach, Suffolk, England, UK.
I am currently working for the Countrywide Great Tour, a 64 day cycling challenge around the coastline of the entire UK. I will try and post daily photos as we travel. More information can be found below.
This was taken on Day 34 with a Fish Eye of the Beach Huts on the promenade at Southwold.

Looks like the girls might have room for one more!
Keenan: You be Thelma
Mirinda: and I'll be Louise
I just hope these girls don't drive off a cliff. :P
Loretta!, Looks like they found their Brad Pitt
This view from Fossil Point Overlook, also known as Thelma and Louise Point, offers impressive views of a nicely iced Colorado River as it flows into Canyonlands National Park, Utah. This was the first time I've seen ice flows in the river like this, it was really neat!
It was right here where the iconic ending of the movie Thelma and Louise was filmed, though most folks go looking for it at Deadhorse State Park (a view of the area from above, but this is where the car drove off the cliff into the "Grand Canyon"). It's a bit off the beaten track, so we usually have had this overlook to ourselves when we visit. It was my birthday when we visited on this day and again we had the place to ourselves with my wife doing yoga on the rocks and me taking far too many photos. ;-)))
Image Notes: Triple-processed RAW: once for sky, once for shadows and once for mid-tones. I used Tony Kuyper's luminosity masks techniques for assisting in blending the results together. Canyons make for some of the most challenging post-processing for sure!

The 66 Ford Thunderbird from Thelma and Louise car has been on my to-do for months. I wasn't sure that I would be able to pull it off in sand green, which kept me from having a go until now.
This is my part of a buddy challenge with Peter Blackert, who built a 2002 Thunderbird for the 81st Lugnuts challenge, Generation Gap, which involved building examples of cars that have been produced in several generations.
When I looked at the various characters that I built to go with my collection of movie cars a while ago, it became very obvious that almost all of the main characters were male. The few female characters that I had built were basically sidekicks. This prompted me to take a look at movies with strong female characters, which in turn lead to Thelma and Louise (and to Kill Bill).
In the movie, the characters' hair colour wasn't quite as orange as it is on my brick-built figures, but yellow is too, well, yellowand there are no brackets in dark tan. I'm happy with the overall look.
This is the first chance you've had to express yourself.

Excuse the Tripod in the reflection :)
Explored!
The Thunderbird may have started life as a sporty two-seater, but by the time the fourth generation appeared (from 1964 to 1966) it had become a rather large cruiser with few sporty credentials.
For some reason, the image of these two does brings the movie Thelma and Louise to mind. It appears that they are conspiring to do some devious activity!
The exposure was tricky on this one as the does were in foreground shade while not too far behind them there was relatively bright sun. Not sure the white balance in camera was up to snuff and I had to make some adjustments in lightroom.
This is the last of my deer images, so hope you enjoyed.
Happy Valentines Day to all the Ladies~!
Comments welcome.
We were leaving Sequoia National Park, headed for Visalia, CA.
Next 365 uploads will have to wait a few days; I took #11 with a film camera - getting the film developed in Vegas.
No group images in my comments please.

This was a very difficult car and not just because of its colour. The 66 Thunderbird has lots of creases and fiddly bits and I had to compromise a fair bit.
Although Dead Horse Point State Park is not part of Canyonlands National Park, its vicinity to the park (its near the entrance to Island in the Sky), amazing panoramic views and solitude makes it a must see stop for any landscape photographer.
I’m getting writer’s block so I’ll “borrow” some lines from the official description of the park: The legend of Dead Horse Point states that around the turn of the century the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs roaming the mesa top. Cowboys herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck was then fenced off with branches and brush. One time, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River 2,000 feet below.
Personally I find this place much more intriguing than the Grand Canyon. Hollywood has found this place intriguing too.
It was here at Dead Horse State Park where Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon drove off a cliff and into a canyon in the classic road movie "Thelma and Louise" (in the movie they were supposedly at the Grand Canyon).

Thelma Dickerson: [with a cliff in front of them and cops behind them]
Thelma Dickerson: OK, then listen; let's not get caught.
Louise Sawyer: What're you talkin' about?
Thelma Dickerson: Let's keep goin'!
Louise Sawyer: What d'you mean?
Thelma Dickerson: ...Go.
Thelma Dickerson: [Thelma nods ahead of them]
Louise Sawyer: You sure?
Thelma Dickerson: Yeah.
Happy Travels!

My 1964 Chevrolet Impala is dwarfed by Dead Horse Point as I pulled off the Shafer Trail for a rest. Photo 1 is taken looking down at this spot from the Point (Canyon rim) 1400 ft. above, and directly behind me is a vertical drop of 600 ft. or so into the Colorado River; this is the spot where 'Thelma and Louise' in the ending of the movie are confronted by the police sharpshooters and helicopter, and sadly drive off the edge.
This was during my road trip that covered about 4,000 miles from Vancouver-Calgary-Denver-Las Vegas-Victoria and many points between. The car ran flawlessly I'm relieved to say. The car is my ice-blue 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-door hardtop, the first car I owned in Canada; bought in 1970 and sold in 1983. A great car, quiet, reliable and roomy; every day I regret having sold it, especially now as it is highly collectible and in good condition would be worth far more now than the $900 I paid for it.
Shafer Trail is still recommended for high-clearance vehicles such as SUV's only. I remember it as bumpy and dusty, but the trusty Impala survived the trip. I had to drive pretty slowly, of course.
