GSENM 2011 day 15: White Doms trail

Piano Rock at Valley of Fire
Today was my last full day in USA. I was little bit sad, cause I had began to like the sweet life: travelling around and doing whatever I liked, going wherever I liked and no Work …. I had also get used to my Rental car which I had driven now for over 2800 miles.
White Domes Slot Canyon
But being honest, I had completed my list of must do things to enjoy the american way of life: Starbucks drive-through and breakfast in the car; long road trips with Drive-thru lunch in the car. Breakfasting Pancakes with maples Syrup (Williams, Az) , having great Burgers (Page Dam Bar &Grill), Having a fantastic Steak diner (Rubys Inn @Bryce), having a Diner Buffet in Las Vegas (Wynn Buffet) and doing all my backcountry hikes and photography.

On my last day I once again got up early in the morning to visit the third and last time Valley of Fire S.P. 50 miles north of Las Vegas. Here I did the White Domes trail a very small hike but offering also a small slot canyon and a historic filmset. I visited also the Elephant Rock at the east entrance and Piano Rock at the Loop road. Returning noon in Las Vegas I did some Shopping in the Premium Outlet Mall North and went a last time to the pool in the afternoon. In the evening I had the Wynn Diner Buffet and finally went to my Hotel for the traditional last evening gambling. (Lost 40 USD).

my Utah 2011 foto trip fotos are now online

It took me more than 3 month to sort and filter my 2500 fotos, which I shot during my two week (may/june 2011) foto trip in Utah’s Grandstaircase Escalante N.M. I created a selection of my 50 favourite fotos. Enjoy and dont hesitate to give me feedback. The foto album will open up when clicking on this foto below.

Only somebody fotographing himself can understand what it means to go again and again through 2500 fotos (image size of 10-20MB) and filtering out the best shots. Every single foto is linked with a recall of the specific situation when shoting the foto. Often a technical not valuable foto still bears some memories of a nice trip incident and one is unwilling to reject it. So its is really a pain going again and again thorugh the fotos and reducing the count to a reasonable amount suited to be presented online. Therefore I have a second collection mainly for myself where i have stored all trip locations in a collection of 7 albums with 350 shots. Either from 2500 to 350 or 50, it was really hard work to scan all that material and what i learned for the next time: Dont shoot too many fotos!
