Painted Desert and Petrified Forest

The next stop on the trip was at Painted Desert and Petrified Forest.  These two are colocated in northern Arizona. We stopped there in the middle of the day, thus the colors are not very good in the Painted Desert. The colors have faded over the years and the best time of the day to see what is left is to visit during the early morning or late afternoon. But you take what you can take and move on.  




















Looking over the scenery 
You see your shadow
 And what else do you look at?  Look close and you see some "petroglyphs" on the side of the big rock.


The one good example of petrified wood was this fallen "petrified log" that is now supported by concrete.
