The Flinstones

This was definitely one of the highlight of this trip, being able to see dinosaur remains outside of a museum. We were on our way into Monument Valley when we saw this huge sign by the road that said "Dinosaur Tracks". It looked a little dubious, because most of the attraction spots had huge signs and posts miles away informing people  where they were but this one was a hand painted sign. Curious, we followed the sign. This was on the preserve land, so it's not operated by anybody, and it's free. We had a friendly guide who explained what tracks or who's bones we were looking at. It was really exciting, little did I expect to be able to see dino tracks live on location! 

As you can see clearly, those are foot prints and partial bone fossils, but can you guess what are those rounded mounds? 

Postcard Moments

 

"I was commissioned by a certain vehicle company to take a product shot", I would love to have said this as you look at this beautiful shot, but nope, it just happened that I took a shot which turned out to be quite a picture perfect moment, don't you think so?  :) This is the reliable vehicle that took us through Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and  Monument Valley.

Then there's also all these picture perfect moment of Monument Valley. Here we're looking at the West, East Mitten Butte, and Merrick Butte on the left.

Can you spot Elephant Butte? 

The 3 sisters.

Finally, the Totem Poles.
