OK we made it back to Indy last night. Had some catching up to do with bills and all the mundane domestic stuff. Tonight I get to start work on the definitive gallery of images, should be ready in a couple of days…

Back to Vegas

February 20, 2006

We tried to get back into Zion National Park yesterday but ended up driving through a blizzard at 7000 ft. Our Corolla has been a great little car, but we didn’t want to put it through that so turned around and came back to St George. Spent the day pottering about – although I’m a [...]

St George, Utah

February 19, 2006

We got into St. George last night. Unfortunately we picked the one day of the year when they are having the “Parade of Homes”, a Softball championship and at least one convention. So we called round all the hotels in town and finally found a room…

If you take 89 south about a mile past Wal-Mart there’s a turning on the right that takes you to a small parking lot. You need to climb the hill and hike down a little further, then make sure you stop just before the 500 foot sheer drop that takes you down to the Colorado [...]

Antelope Canyon is just outside of Page, Arizona. Since the canyon is on Navajo land you need to book a tour with one of the registered tour companies. We stayed at the Best Western hotel, and the front desk were able to set this up for us. It was $75 for two people, on the [...]

After driving about 400 miles and taking in the Grand Canyon along the way, we finally rolled into Page at about 8pm last night. We needed to stay for a couple of nights, as the next photography tour of Antelope Canyon isn’t until tomorrow. We found a great place to eat breakfast, but we forgot [...]

Grand Canyon

February 17, 2006

The Grand Canyon is big. I mean really big. You won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind bogglingly big it really is. I mean, you might think it’s a long way down the road to the coffee shop, but that’s just peanuts to the Grand Canyon… It’s so big it’s almost impossible to photograph. This is [...]

Leaving Las Vegas

February 17, 2006

We got up really early yesterday morning to catch the sunrise over the strip. One of the best places to do this is the top of the Rio parking lot: We had a long way to go, so we stopped off at the Peppermill for a bloody great big breakfast ™. Then after only 10 [...]

The Mix

February 17, 2006

The Mandalay Bay hotel added an extra tower a couple of years ago.. Called ‘THEhotel’ (sic) it adds a whole bunch more rooms and is positioned to give you the best view of the strip from the top. This is where The Mix restaurant and lounge is situated. As you can see from the pictures [...]
