Quite a few movies have been filmed there.
Did you visit the John Ford place that was there?

(John Ford is the guy who directed a lot of the
John Wayne movies. I hope I don't have to explain who John Wayne was )

Yeah we were told on the tour we did through the valley. No we didn't get a chance too. I was on a Contiki tour and had to do whatever they did. The John Ford place was never even mentioned unfortunately. Wouldn't have minded to go there now that you have mentioned it.
Haha no you don't have to explain who John Wayne was, John Ford I had no idea on, John Wayne I'm fine.

Well that's too bad. But at least you know who John Wayne was

Very desolate yet beautiful shot... I think that it would be interesting to paint this, but I wonder how the artist could deal with the heat for many hours, assuming it is quite hot there. In any case nice piece.

Thank you very much. I think so too. I actually took this photo in November, which is heading into their winter. So you would be more worrying about the cold at this point of time. Although you can't tell from this shot. I was freezing.

You're welcome. And I'm sure it's quite cold, I've heard deserts can be quite cold at night and during winter.

Yeah we were getting to below 32F at night. And had snow by the time we got to the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful.

Wow!
This is incredible! I love the colors and the clarity. Gives you a sense of inner peace just by looking at it with its vastness and uninterrupted view clear skies. No phone wires and ples at this place. So relaxing...

I love it too. The sun on the ground, the road, the rest of the ground, the clouds and the blue sky. It's all awesome.
