Road Trip I

[tealin]

Great glorifying praises to the diety of digital cameras – despite all the twists of fate to befall mine, I managed to get the pictures off it!




I'm not a very good photographer, but here goes...

Rohan - On the way down, we drove past an area that looked like it could have been used in LotR. That movie is one of the few things that can make me homesick for Utah. ... Okay, it's the only thing.
Thunderstorm - Near Beaver, UT ... I like thunderstorms. This one didn't actually have much lightning but it was impressive just the same.
Clacks Tower? - [dork alert!] Taken from under the thunderstorm above, after we drove through it. Come on, a cell tower is practically a clacks tower! It's even got a ladder!
Cliffs - On the way to the Tuacahn Ampitheatre near St George. It's a great big theatre set up at the end of a box canyon, surrounded by tall red cliffs. We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat there – I've seen many productions of it but this was probably the biggest and definitely the most ... unique.

Day two will have more pictures, I promise... including [drumroll] The MAD GREEK!

I wonder what it would have been like to grow up somewhere hot. A little twist of fate stopped the mother's side of my family from becoming Aussies, so instead I was born as me in icy cold Norway. Utah looks pretty.

I only took pictures of the pretty parts. ;)

Yeah, don't let it decive you. Suburbia isn't pretty no matter how you shoot it. Unless you shoot it with an A-bomb and plant some trees after the radiation goes away ;)

Why Wait?

If you plant the trees while the radiation is still around you get some pretty interesting looking trees.

And really big fruit ... how is this a bad thing?

It would be radioactive, that's how ;-)

I wonder if you could create new fruits? Like, mix a banana, an orange, and an apple to get a mushy, yet juicy fruit, hardy enough to survive a Canadian winter. People would come from miles around to taste the unique fruit of Utah's... bapplange tree.
