Some more images with the new EF 24-105 f/4L IS II, this time from Shiprock, New Mexico and the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, east of Holbrook on I-40 / US Route 66. The iconic view of Shiprock is from the south, shown below about 7am on a clear December morning. Each image is a URL and clickable to launch to full screen as well as to display the technical parameters for each image from either 500px or Flickr.
The Navajo name for the peak, Tsé Bit'a'í, means "rock with wings" or "winged rock" and refers to the Navajo legend of the great bird that brought the Navajo from the north to their present lands. The name "Shiprock" or Shiprock Peak or Ship Rock derives from the peak's resemblance to an enormous 19th-century clipper ship.

Originally designed for purposes of lodging and other tourist services, such as meals and shopping, the inn was purchased by the Painted Desert National Monument in 1936. From 2004-2006 the building had an extensive rehabilitation, returning the inn to its 1949 appearance.

A trip from middle America to the coast could take about a week along swinging 66. No interstate speeds back then. For many, the journey was not just across miles, it was across culture and lifestyles, as each stop along the way offered local flair and regional flavor.

Very nice shots. Love the car.
Very nice series of photographs. That Studi needs to be brought back to all its glory. Sad to sere it wasting away. Just my opinion. :-) Long time Street Rodder. Cheers.
Besides the excellent photographs the lens is tack sharp.
Very good set, I really like the shot of the car Paul.

Thanks for the post and very nice images. I have been considering this lens for a planned trip to the Galapogos this summer, leaving my 24/70 2.8 at home, and the prims in that range, just for the additional flexibility. I had heard comments that the IQ of the 24/105 does no match the 24/70, but these seem pretty nice. If you have any thoughts on that comment it would be appreciated but I think you have helped me make the decision.
