Call it Isolation….or Perseverance. This pine tree (I forget which kind even though I asked multiple times) is a model of both. It has amazingly found a way to survive in a harsh climate entirely on it’s own….not to mention in the middle of a huge rock.
I will never drive past Horseshoe Bend without stopping to take a photo, even though I will never be able to truly capture it’s magnificence with my camera. It is a view that quite literally takes your breath away every time you experience it.

Lower Antelope Canyon – The southwest is scattered with slot canyons like this that were formed over thousands or millions of years from wind and water erosion. The shapes and patterns are all unique but the glow created by the sun reflecting off of the sandstone is always pretty incredible.
Monument Valley – 50 million years of erosion from wind and water revealed these natural wonders. You might recognize the view from several movies including: Stagecoach, Easy Rider and Forest Gump.
