Early morning in the Tetons – waiting for the sunrise

On three consecutive nights in Alaska the sky turned into a lightshow of blue, red and green. The first night was like a miracle with its steady pattern. I was even more surprised by the show the second night, when the lights moved faster in the sky. Then came the third night. The sky turned into a mesmerizing wonder of green, moving so fast that every second its appearance was a new sensation. These three nights were the most wonderful experience in my life.

On our recent trip to Death Valley National Park we drove to Wildrose Canyon to see the Charcoal Kilns, one of the historical features of this National Park.

We recently visited Valley of Fire in Nevada, a State Park with sculptures of red sandstone, which – according to Park information – was formed by shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago.

When entering the State Park from the West, short after the Entrance Gate the landscape changes totally to red rock formations.

One of these formations is called the Seven Sisters.

We went out today for a short road trip through the neighborhood and stopped at one of the many historic bridges in this area. I was especially attracted to the graffiti on the road
