Bryce Canyon 2018

Bryce Canyon National Park, in Utah, is an incredible spectacle. If you've never visited I highly recommend it. Walking through the trails at the bottom of the canyon is even better. Going to each stop of the Rim is great when overlooking, but there's a completely new perspective when you're at the bottom looking up.

Here are a number of pictures from a recent visit to Bryce Canyon, enjoy.

Unique Cloud Patterns

When the clouds are low in the sky they often look more unique because of their intersecting and overlapping shapes. Some think of cloud pictures as every-day not-so-interesting features, but when you think about the fact they're water vapor, and the vapor is visible and floating above us providing unique and interesting visuals, we should post them.

Like them or not, here are a few snapped from my phone the other day. Nature certainly has a unique way of dancing visuals for us.

Space - the FINAL Frontier

In the vastness of space, of which we are one of the smallest parts, there exists more 'other' worlds, planets, stars, and stuff of which we can't even begin to comprehend or understand. Note the following couple of pictures, which are actual photos staring into space, which show so many stars and planets it's difficult to truly comprehend.  And these photos are of our solar system, not of any of the infinite number of others out there.

This first photo may look familiar, it peers to the center of the Milky Way.


This next photo looks to approximately 30 degrees above the horizon at a large cluster of stars in the Milky Way, not the center. It's rather unbelievable how many stars are visible when you leave the shutter open for many minutes at a time.
