A bridge in the middle of nowhere

I first started driving through Southern Utah in 1997 in a 1988 Chevy Celebrity with over 200,000 miles on it. I got in an accident in 2007 and bought a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 with almost 200,000 miles on it and continued my trips every summer. The worst thing that happened to me was one year I got a flat tire and forgot to put my jack in the trunk. I had enough hand tools to take apart an engine but no jack to get my tire off. Lucky for me some tourists from France stopped and lent me the jack out of their rental. This is the view of a bridge over the Colorado River just before it empties into Lake Powell. It's my favorite bridge and I always stop and have cantaloupe at the bridge. It's a ritual.

Never seen an airport but Hite is there. I think it's part of the Glen Canyon National park. I usually drive either to Blanding, then north to Green River, or if it's early enough I drive back through the canyons again to Green River. I usually start at St. George from San Diego. I haven't made the trip in a couple of years.

Almost all of the thousands of pictures I have of Utah were taken through the windshield of my car with a Fuji film S5200 point and shoot. It has an anti shake setting which gets tack sharp photos while moving 55 mphs. It's only 5 megapixel but it has a CCD super sensor and takes some good photos. I run them through Rawtherapee and I get big tiff files and 300 dpi files. I learned how to tweak photos both jpeg and raw in rawtherapee using tone curves. I was using auto settings up until recently.

These are the photos out of the camera, 72 dpi. When I edit them in Rawtherapee and output them they are 300 dpi.

I've started printing my photos. I had 3 of them in the Del Mar Fair last year. When I submit them I usually make them 12x18 inches big. Some are 12x24 and I have the my Grand Canyon at 24x36 hanging on my living room wall.

No, I can't print photos that large. I have an online service do them.
