Imaging USA 013: Lush green, Zion Canyon

A personal selection of photographs with their stories.

013: Lush green 

Zion National Park was on our route between Monument Valley and Las Vegas. From Monument Valley, the distance is just 250 km, but the driving route is almost double: 450 km. The region was inhabited by indigenous tribes; the first European setters came around 1860: they were Mormons from the Salt Lake area. The name Zion refers to a place of peace and safety. The name of the nearby Kolob region exists in the Mormon Scripts, in which Kolob refers to a place near God. Zion National Park is indeed a place where you can feel yourself united with nature, untied from human infrastructure. When I visited the park in May, spring had just started. The plants, trees, and shrubs had recently been sprouting; therefore, almost everything around us was green, a lush green, giving us a happy feeling of newborn energy.

298: Floating flowers

Unlike winter in Western Europe, trees and flowers bloom in Belo Horizonte in winter. A tropical winter in this city is almost the same as summer in Western Europe: during the day the temperature may fluctuate between 20 and 25, with some peaks towards tropical values. In the night the temperature varies between 12 and 18 degrees. Rarely it gets colder than ten degrees in the night. However, at higher locations, you should be prepared for lower temperatures. It rarely rains in Belo Horizonte during the winter months. The skies are usually deep blue. Many elm trees bloom in winter: you will see purple, yellow, white and pink elm trees blossoming exuberantly. The flowers on the picture are not of an elm tree, but of a Thunbergia shrub.
