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!

whee!

Special! I live in Utah. Near civilization, though. I used to live in St. George, but then we moved to Orem, three hours away. Just incase any of you were wondering. I'm sure this interests all of you deeply, seeing as I've added my comments many times before this. Anyways, nice pictures. They're quite pretty in comparison to the rest of the deserts. Which are ugly. WHEE.

Ha, I don't suppose you are "from" Utah until you draw a characature of Brigham Young, no?

Orem: Land of Helquist. [cue heavenly chorus]

I'm sure there are lots of people 'from' Utah who have not drawn a caricature of Brigham Young. But to qualify as a citizen (statizen?) of the state, he probably has to be in the top 5 of Historical Figures You Would Like to Meet.

Yeah, but drawing is your life's passion. If you truly were from Utah, and have spent your youth being indoctrinated...errr...listening to the epic tales of Brigham Young and his leading people to find Jesus in a salt bed, you would have drawn him at least once...even if he were a doodle in your junior high history textbook.

I've drawn Juan Ponce de Leon enough times in too many history textbooks. But 'twas not in vain: I ended up making history an academic career. :-p I guess Johnny PdL wouldbe #5 on my list, which might make me a true Floridian. Of course, Boney would be #1 HANDS DOWN! :-D
