after all those shopping trips in the city and passed by the mountains...it's time to go into the rocks...!!!
after breakfast, obviously from the hotel....we started our journey at 8-ish/9am...
we headed more west and south into UTAH...the place is less vegetation as you can see....it's getting lesser trees/grass as we go.....
vs
what's the difference between the above two pictures?
which one is by a compact camera? which one is by a DSLR?
Balanced rock...
North Window...
South window...
Turret Arch...
Turret Arch and a mini arch...
*l.o.v.e*
famous delicate arch on UTAH quarters...
in case you missed me after seeing all the rocks... =DDD
Landscape Arch...
Landscape Arch is the longest Arch in Arches National Park, measuring 306 feet from base to base. In 1991, a massive slab of rock fell from its underside, resulting in an even thinner ribbon of rock. - from the official website
Double O arch...
at 2-ish, we left the arches for lunch, sadly, fast food, this time Wendy's... =.="
so on the way exiting, we saw many ambulances and emergency teams rushing towards the arches...we didnt suspect anything...just felt weird...
after lunch we headed to the canyonlands...
it was b-e-a-u-tiful!!!
the indian creeks
some rocks in red since it was sunset, the natural color is red... *showing off some photography knowledge*
more rocks before we left....
then we headed out back to the hotel right after sunset...so from the canyonlands out to the main road was bout 15-20 minutes drive...the gas was running freaking LOW! our beloved car owner got so FREAKED OUT....we were just || this close to call AAA to get us more gas...yet the big boss said it's ok....we can still reach the next gas station....it's okayyyyyyy...
but the beloved driver/car owner got really freak out that he couldnt utter a word....he was so so so quiet....being the noisy backseat driver, me, also the youngest, also the cheekiest....i tried to calm him down by talking some nonsense to distract him....but obviously i failed =.=" so i gave him a gum to chew on....
after another 20-30 minutes drive from the junction of the exit, we finally reached monticello, a small little town...of course the first stop was the gas station!!! after filling up the gas, i teased him!!!! hahahaha!!! sorry buddy, i know you were really freaked out, so am i, but i've never seen you to be that quiet before!!!! :p we could have stranded in the middle of the canyonlands and would have to wait for AAA for at least 5 hours to rescue us! o.O
we continued for bout 30 minutes to blanding...we arrived at blanding few minutes before 9pm and that's when all the shops were closed....even subway or whatever grocery store....which means..?! NO DINNER!!!! o.m.g!!! blanding is worse than monticello, bear that in mind, if anyone wants to go to UTAH and to these small towns....
we drove around and of cz backseat driver isn't that annoying/useless....this is when i show them i'm useful!!! hiak hiak hiak!!!!
while christophe was bout to turn left on a junction, i saw a restaurant showing the "open" sign! i was like TURN RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! there's food there!!!!!
wheeeeeeeee!!! =)
and so we managed to get some dinner there...thanks to this backseat driver! ho ho ho!!!
happened that the whole day i was in my swiss t shirt and the family beside us was from swiss!!!! the mother was asking me have i been to switzerland!!!! O.M.G!!! i had to say no... =( then christophe was teasing me.... *he got back his mood after refilling gas* so you've never been to swiss but you wear something from swiss?!?! isshh!!!!!! *cannot mehhhhh?!?!* grrrrr
then we went back to the hotel to have a good rest for us and the car....
and, remember we saw emergency teams heading towards the arches?!
we found out from the news that there's this "genius" attempted to commit suicide....this smart dude tried to jump over a 2m wide gap...at first he MADE IT!!!! then he lose control and fell back right into the cliffs and of course he "committed suicide" awesome, no?!
where got such dumb ass jump over a 2m gap without any safety equipment one!!!
tsk tsk tsk....
more "exciting" morning to come.... LOL!!!
btw, there's only 3 pictures from a DSLR...can you spot the three? =) if you can't that means my powershot is wayyyy too powerful! as powerful as a DSLR! :p
