July 2001 Vacation Pictures

from the

Petrified Forest , Arizona.

Click on the pictures for a larger view.

Notice the petrified log on the top of the hill as well as the broken pieces at the bottom. The bigger picture is much more dynamic.

This picture at Blue Mesa is similar to one of the pictures hanging in the GP building. The larger picture is much better.

These logs were scattered everywhere!

Since they believe the trees floated here during a flood, the branches were broken off before they were petrified. The only thing left of the branches are the knots where the branches attached.
