I love these Junipers with their gnarly, twisted trunks and shapes. Nice images.

On our way from Page AZ to Kanab Utah we stopped off at Old Paria to check out the old western set. We ended up driving along dusty roads midday. I hate taking pictures in harsh light but we were passing though so I made the best of it. My favorite tree growning up was the Weeping Willow, but I now I am fond of the Juniper tree. They are so gnarly and twisted. Sort of like being old, which I am.
I like old gnarly trees, too.

Beautiful shots. I've passed that turn-off many times and each time was tempted to drive down the road. But I never have. One fellow stopped me from going by saying that my car wasn't suitable for the road and I'd likely get hung up. Another fellow told me there was nothing to see once there, and that deterred me once. You've been there. What say you?
Thanks, We were in a Mazda suv which has a little ground clearance and had no trouble. As for nothing to see, I think there are a lot of opportunities for good shots, it just takes a bit of walking around to get a good angle. The place wasn't teaming with wildlife but I was there midday, I would have liked more time to take a sunrise and dusk shot. My take on getting a good shot is that there are opportunitys anywhere you are at. And the difference between a good and great shot is just a few steps.

Thanks. I've shot those hills off to the east there. They're really pretty.
