Can you see a head in these?

Two similar concepts of making heads out of stone - Mexican Hat, Utah and Lanzarote! However one is much larger than the rest!

Homage to the NASA space shuttles

In March 2009 Paul and I were fortunate to see our second shuttle launch from the Hall of Astronauts Museum, Titusville, Florida which was about 20 miles from the launch site. We saw Columbia first a few years previously, but I was so shocked at the time I didn't take many photos so when the chance came to see another launch I managed to film Discovery taking off. Here are a few photographs taken of the smoke trail behind Discovery just as the sun was setting so the cloud is reflected in the sky. A well and truly amazing sight!

Petrified forest

On our trips through American National Parks we have seen some amazing sites. Here are some fossilised trees from the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert, Arizona including a house built of blocks of petrified stone! The colours were vivid pinks, yellows and oranges - and you could even see the rings on some of the fallen trunks!
