A few off-topic images for your viewing pleasure: I had the fortune to accompany my wife and her mother on a road trip over to some of the canyons in Utah this past weekend. Here are a few shots of what we saw. I hope they evoke at least a bit of the amazement I experienced. http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4058.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4067.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4080.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4236.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4240.1.jpg
A not so perfect ~ninety degree pano-stich of the view behind the B&B we stayed at, near Valley of the Gods http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4382.1.jpg one of Valley of the Gods http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4397.1.jpg also the ancestral Puebloan ruins at Hovenweep http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4509.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4498.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4497.1.jpg http://www.catmtn.com/images/utah/100_4531.1.jpg and at Mesa Verde in the southwestern corner of Colorado http://www.catmtn.com/images/mesa_verde/100_4544.1.jpg Both ruin sites are dated between 1050 and 1200 AD. More to come when I find some time to edit them. Cheers, Zaug -- My love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed my mind. <|8?o
