Leaving from San Francisco airport,we arrived at Phoenix.
Then bygetting on a sightseeing bus about two hours,
we arrived at Sedona.
There are many red rock mountains in Sedona.
Very near from the city.
Can you see a Snoopy?
He is located in right side.
Bell rock is located in the center.
There is a rock that looks like coffee pot in the right side.
The bell rock.
There are many cereoid cactuses near Phoenix.

Dear Laura.Thank you very much for your comment.
DeleteWhat dynamic geography and topography of rocky mountains and valleys in Arizona! The rock formation of red-rock mountains is interesting. I could recognize bell and coffee pot but not Snoopy. The elk has such fine antlers. I’m in English mode tonight.

Dear Yoko sama.
Deleteおはようございます。こんな堪能な英語で書かれてしまいますと、コメントにご返事するのが困ってしまいます。スヌーピーは６番目の写真です。寝ています。 ここがデズニーのサンダーマウンテンのヒントになった所です。
I visited Grand Canyon when I was a student. My friends and I drove from San Francisco to Phoenix which took 15 hours as we lost our way into some scary deserts at night. We arrived Grand canyon at 3.00am! Your photos certainly brought me happy memories. I didn;t get to see those interesting snoopy, coffee pot and bell rocks! I hope to visit these canyons again someday and spend 2-3 days there. I loved to see their huge cactus plants with flowers.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Saito-San.

You got to visit so many great places! Sedona and the Grand Canyon are so unique. Where did you see the elk? I do not think I have seen them so close.
ReplyDeleteDear Ruth.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment.I found them in Grand Canyon.
Minoru, I’m glad you got to see an elk. I like visiting Sedona. My friend lives near Phoenix in the midst of many cacti. I hope you enjoyed your western trip.

流石にアメリカですね。スケールの規模が違います。背の高いサボテンも日本では見かけませんよね？
ReplyDeleteDear Tomoko sama.
Deleteおはようございます。 柱サボテンですね。フェニックスの名物だそうです。標高2000メートルを超えると育たないそうです。 日本では植物園にあるかどうかです。
