这两天听《北京欢迎你》（奥运真的要来了！）听到自发轰鸣，需要听点别的来解一解。
这个戴娆，出道多年一直不是太红，不过声音倒是不错的。说到小戴，这世界真小。当年有一个校友回北京花一年的时间把医学博士读完，这期间呢就认识了刚刚出道的小戴。小戴亲赠亲笔签名CD一张，我亲眼见过，称谓写的是，XX大哥。想当年我还在电台放过她的歌，可惜我能力不够大，台子也太小，没把她捧红啊。

Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument
From Bryce Canyon National Park to Torrey there are still some 110 miles. I left Bryce Canyon around 6pm, and didn't get to Torrey until 9:15pm. According to the owner of the little cabin I reserved, "it is bed time already." In between the two points, scenic Route 12 transverses the rolling terrain of Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument. It was really a rewarding experience driving on Route 12, although it is sometimes winding and you have to be really concentrating on the road, not the scene.
An hour out of Bryce Canyon, the view is very different.
The sun is quite low by now.
At sunset.
Doesn't this look like the Great Smokies? I will post those pictures at a later time.
I captured the most beautiful scene with my eyes, not my camera. I was driving on the ridge of a hill at sunset. The road wound along, turning north and west. The land beside the road was filled with withered grass, having already gone through its life cycle by the end of June. It was a shimmering field of gold in the setting sun, sparkling lights reflected by the stalks undulating in a gentle breeze.

Bryce Canyon National Park
On my way from Panguitch to Bryce Canyon, I got really excited when I first saw Red Canyon. You can see why: red rocks everywhere!
This lady rode a motorcycle. Her family were on their motorcycle vacation. Turned out that she and her husband visited China almost 30 years ago! She'd be really surprised to see the new China if she were gonna go now!
Till I got to the Sunset Point of Bryce Canyon National Park (oh I skipped the Sunrise Point on the way in), I realized that this was the real excitement of the day. My first sight of Bryce Canyon:
Hoodoos everywhere!
Sentinel (I think it might be the skinny pointy hoodoo on the upper left corner)
Thors Hammer
Navajo Loop Trail
flora
fauna. Ignore what's hanging on his behind. He is attempted by food. Bad tourists!
Two Bridges
The clouds that caught us in the afternoon
It must be really difficult to grow in this place!
This must be Wall Street:
Now we need to go up! Navajo Loop has 167m elevation change.
Looking down. Hmm, apparently I didn't align my lens hood correctly.
Hoodoos
More hoodoos
Lucky lunch
The (white) alligator! (on top)
Grottos
Bryce Amphitheater seen from Bryce Point: left

right. Yes, it's a hell of a place to lose a cow! (Mr. Ebenezer Bryce's answer to what he thought about the canyon.)
Now the power of my Tamron 18-250mm lens. Here is the wide angle. There is a road crew working on the trail on the lower right corner. But can you tell?
Here is the telephoto. What are they doing with all these boxes?
Picturesque. Down there lies the little town Tropic, where Mr. Ebenezer Bryce used to live.
Silent City
Yovimpa Point, very close to Rainbow Point. It's raining out there, but no rainbow.
Young branch on a pine tree on Bristlecone Loop Trail. I must have missed the 1600-year-old pine!
Agua Canyon. The hoodoo on the left looks like a person's profile.
Natural Bridge
Deer at twilight
Thus ends my visit to the beautiful Bryce Canyon National Park.
