Yesterday and Today

We decided yesterday Monday, to visit "The Petrified Forest" National Park on I-40 to West between Albuquerque and Flagstaff in Arizona


Very bizarre looking, but beautiful formations everywhere in the park


And almost to the end of the ride (25 Miles total) we saw all these petrified wood pieces


From far away they looked like real trees

Petrified Forest National Park

With one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archeological sites, and displays of over 200-million-year-old fossils, this is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science.

Read and learn more about the petrified Forest here


And today we were visiting the absolutely spectacular Grand Canyon. I'll show you more photographs tomorrow from this beautiful day today.



Hi my friends,

we are just now discovering the beauty of the National Parks in Arizona and I can tell you, it's amazing, it's overwhelming, it's just breathtaking! I made a lot of pictures, of course ...LOL... and I want to share some of them with you.

Again, I have to tell you this: America is beautiful!

Thanks for all your wonderful comments recently to my posts, I'm happy that you like my photography. Stay with me :)

Pretty Landscapes on The Way to Phoenix,AZ

This photo belongs actually to the post before, when we left Sedona. It is such a pretty last view back towards the red rocks of Sedona! I just wanted to share it with you too. :)


This was the fantastic view, when we were driving from Flagstaff over all the hills towards Phoenix


Pretty color contrast of yellow fields and the "Black Canyon" mountains


The first fields of Saguaro Cacti came up, those are so typical for Arizona
I love these trees


Another pretty view close by Black Canyon City


Hi my friends,

we are still in beautiful and warm Phoenix, Arizona and have booked just now another night. We cannot decide where we want to go as next....LOL... :)

Thanks for all the nice comments and the loyal visits! Love you all! :))

Come back soon!
