Alien Talking Heads.
Sedna’s Queens. Obviously we are not in Sedna, but we may as well be. I also made up these names.
The surface of Sedna. Sedna is thought to be the most distant dwarf planet in our solar system and was discovered in 2003.
The enthroned Queen. We are in Arches National Park in Utah which looks like a cross between Petra, Egypt, and some alien world.
The Four Pharoahs.
Valley of the Kings.
Tower of Babel.
Munch’s Balancing Brain.
Climbing Devils Thumb. (Click to enlarge the photo and you can see the technical climber about thrity feet from the summit.)
Anteojos. (Glasses in Spanish)
Six-shooter.
Cheers to you from Arches National Park in Utah~
We are traveling between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, so internet is spotty, but I will touch base with you when I can.

Thanks Cindy. Its taking a bit of time to readjust to normal life, whatever that is in Beijing but nice to be back on WP again
It is very nice to have you back!
The photos are all beautiful and the 1st caption is hilarious.
Ah, thanks, I think I might prefer alien talking heads at this point……..
Fantastic, Cindy. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thank you my friend~ <3
Excellent. Interesting contrast in images and origin of the name. The planet Sedna was named in honour of Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, who is thought to live at the bottom of the frigid Arctic Ocean. 🙂
Oh how wonderful! I had no idea. Thank you for telling me!
Breathtaking!
Your kindness is a light in my life! Thank you~
Excellent photos no matter which planet you were really on at the time that you shot them!
Laughing……how did you know I am often not sure!! 😉 😉
Thank you for the like Cindy. 🙂

Nature is amazing.
Agreed!
Mother Nature must be a very strong woman to be able to pile those rocks like that!
Some of them seem so impossibly balanced and placed that they defty explanation. How did that get there? How does it stay there? Mother Nature knows. I sure don’t.
Wow, amazing place!
So kind and so appreciated! Thank you~ <3
You re welcome!

Wow! We’ve been talking about taking a trip to Utah’s national parks – this photo essay has clinched it for me!
Obama has just designated two more areas in Utah as national monuments. It is such spectacular country. I am very glad you are going!
These are interesting stories of the photos. And the photos, it goes without saying that they’re breathtaking.
Ahhh, I missed this comment. So sorry. Lovely of you to say and most appreciated too!

What a beautiful showing of Arches NP. Recently visited Zion NP, but didn’t make it over to Arches. Now I see we should have.
Zion is one of my favorite parks. It is so beautiful!
Enjoying these pictures again reminded me of what I saw with my first viewing; I am very tiny, and, considering my “stature” relative to the rest of creation, my ego is immense.
This is so true of humans, isn’t it, insignificant in the face of all creation, yet so egotistical. Thank you for your insight.
