Christene send me another card in case I didn't receive the big one. Such generous her, I received both.

Capitol Reef National Park comprises 378 square miles of colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths. About 75 miles of the long up-thrust called the Waterpocket Fold, extending like a rugged spine from Thousand Lake Plateau southward to Lake Powell, is preserved within the park boundary. Capitol Reef is the name of an especially rugged and spectacular part of the Waterpocket Fold near the Fremont River.

The Temple of the Sun & Moon stands illuminated, as the day fades away.

In Zion National Park, the Virgin River and its tributaries have cut narrow slot canyons. In places, a canyon twenty feet wide may be bordered by rock walls over a thousand feet high.

Grand Canyon

(Postcard size = 253mm x 100mm)


The South Rim's seemingly expansion view includes only one fourth of the Grand Canyon. To get a complete understanding of the canyon, one must be willing yo get out and explore.
The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view.



Thank you to Photo Cache send me this gorgeous view card.

Malaysia's First World Heritage Site

Another UNESCO postcard ~ Mount Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo

Wildflowers and brightly coloured foliage perch precariously among rocks at the edge of Low's Gulley. Kinabalu's deep abyss, a kind of counter spirit to the immense and majestic heights.
