A Storm Approaches

[AlanLichty]

A thunderstorm approaches the Del Muerto Canyon in Canyon de Chelly. The scenery in Canyon de Chelly is really nice even without the ruins being the destination. I took a guided tour up the canyons a number of years back but the drivers have a rather rigid agenda about where they will stop for photos. I'd like to go back sometime with a private guide that will let me shoot the scenery instead of just going ruin hopping. This image is shot from the canyon rim.

Very cool shot! Yeah, I'd like to take a private tour, or my own car up the canyon!

You wouldn't have wanted to drive your car up the day I took the tour during spring when there was a significant amount of water flowing:

In places the water was over the axles of these WWII era trucks.

Great geology Alan. And that must have been a neat tour.

Hey Alan, that's a very cool photo and an even cooler documentary photo in #2 of that tour truck.
