A beautiful sunset somewhere in the mountains east of Moab, Utah.

This the Beehive, a Yellowstone geyser near Old Faithful, that taught me the importance of staying upwind from erupting geysers. See all that water going upward in a really powerful gush? Lemme tell you, it must come down, too...and it does! Thankfully, the visitor center sold (slightly too short) women's jogging pants. Need I say more? :)

BTW, for the record, this was my summer vacation (okay, it was the end of May...).

The rock formations in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, are very photogenic. Clearly, I wasn't the only one to think so. Having a person in my photo also helps give some scale to the landscape.

Some of the curves along the narrow gauge Durango-Silverton railroad track are sharp enough that you can be sitting inside the train, and still take a picture like this:

Another picture of the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Simply because it's an amazing landscape.

Colorado boasts several National Parks. One of them is the Great Sand Dunes NP, which (so the website tells me) is 150,000 acres, or 604 square km, and contains the tallest dunes of North America. To properly photograph something on such a scale, you need some object to compare it to. A group of park visitors provided a nice yard stick to indicate how immense these dunes are.
