The show was at the airport in Grand Junction. You're right, they are the bookcliffs. Thanks for taking a look.

October, 2015 I attended an air show featuring the Air Force Thunderbirds. Also featured was the Commemorative Air Force's depiction of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The display of pyrotechnics was interesting, to say the least. I had some difficulty photographing some of the show, but I hope I did well enough to give an idea of the program.

Could use some help planning 3days in Glacier NP. where to stay to have quick access. ?
macthemac: I spend a great deal of time in Glacier, however I camp in a fifth wheel trailer. There a numerous hotel and motels on the West side of the Park. Some facilities are available within the Park. More are available just outside of the Park at West Glacier.
On the East side the choices are more limited. Only a couple of choices unless you are camping out. A search of the internet will give you a selection of different levels of accommodations available. Be sure to make your reservations as early as possible. The number of visitors grows each year, it is a very busy park.
It's a beautiful place and the photographic opportunities are boundless. ENJOY!! stinger

Thanks for the ride. That road gets so much more difficult and leads to even better vistas. Much of the mining history of the San Juans is in this area.

Canyon de Chelly is a wonderful place to visit. I've taken the valley tour with a Navajo guide and it was well worth the expense. I would recommend taking the full day trip as both arms of the canyon will be included in the tour. The guide will make the trip so much more interesting. I don't know, but you used to be able to take your own 4X4 vehicle with a hired guide and travel at you own pace. The other option was to take an army 6X6 with the other tourists to see the valley floor.

Seeing the Northern Lights was on my bucket list. January, 2007 I crossed it off my list. They were absolutely beautiful. I just stood there watching the show, then I remembered I had my camera got some images of the magnificence. The pictures turned out OK but now I want to go back and try for better pictures. My skills and camera equpment have improved to a certain extent. Thanks for the link.

Wonderful photos of a wonderful breed! I've had two Rotties, both were beautiful, intelligent and very well behaved.
Thanks for the photos,

Thank you all for viewing and the kind comments. Mesa Verde is an amazing place, I'm fascinated by the cultures represented there. The night viewing was really something to see.

On Dec 9th and 10th I had an opportunity to go to Mesa Verde to view the night lighting of two dwellings, Cliff Palace and Spruce Tree House. The lighting was to show what they might have looked like if inhabited. The first 5 photos are of Cliff Palace. There photographers everywhere. It was difficult to find a fairly clear view of the dwelling. My photos have some branches in the foreground however there was a Ranger watching everyone and wouldn't let me clear a few branches. The lighting for Cliff Palace was very bright and I am still learning night photography so they may be slightly over exposed and slightly out of focus. The photos of Spruce Tree House came out a bit better. See, I can learn.
The next 4 are of Spruce Tree House and were not as brightly lit. I was fortunate enough to get a better location the second night. As I understand, they light Spruce Tree every year but Cliff Palace is lit only occasionally. The last photo shows the paper bags with sand and candles lighting all of the roadways and walkways.
C & C always welcome.
