Six-Years Ago (10-August-2010) — Utah

Gone to See America August 2010 Road Trip. Day 10: Great Basin National Park, Nevada to Park City, Utah.

After a long day driving, I arrived in Park City. It was off season, and the Marriott Hotel I was staying at upgraded me to a room with two balconies and more square feet than my house. I was able to set up a camera on each balcony to do night sky star trails. One camera looking north and up to Polaris, the other looking east.

Nine-Years Ago (16-September-2006) — Utah

Gone to See America 2006 Driving Tour. Day 18: Arches National Park, Utah

I passed through Moab and Arches National Park as part of my Gone To See America 2006 driving tour. Little did I know that I would be visiting Arches National Park on the same day of the year two years later. Keeping the people in the image gives an idea of scale.
On this trip the images were taken with a Nikon D200, and only saved in jpg format.
