Hoover Dam


From Hoover Dam

One of the engineering achievements of the 20th Century, I won't bore you with stats on it.





Rock Stacking and Balancing in Zurich

From Rock Stacking and Balancing in Zurich

I've seen folks balance and stack rocks before, and it never ceases to make me look twice. I once accidentally knocked one off, so I know there's no glue or anything, just pure balance.


Burkiplatz Flee Market

From Burkiplatz Flee Market

I just love walking around flee markets! Such random stuff.. old bikes next to antique watches, car wheels next to records, postcards next to old trainers.


Zion National Park

From Zion National Park


Wasn't intending to go to Zion, but people said I should, so I did. I'm glad I did. The scale of the place is enormous. I did the Emerald Pools trek and went up the valley as far as the path allows. I will go back, earlier in the year to d Angel's Landing.








Bryce Canyon


Went to Bryce, another box ticked.

What a place, or as Ebenezer Bryce said 'its a hell of a place to lose a cow'. Yes he really said that.





What surprised me was the variability in the colour of the limestone. Here's a movie, made from Picasa's movie making feature.
