<p>As always, awesome pictures everyone.</p>

<p>In addition to being a little late, I don't have much to choose from this time - that I have these at all is the result of a series of mistakes in the American south west (must...not...mention...politics): after my delayed visit to Lower Antelope I'd intended to have a couple of hours in Zion, but the sat nav decided to take us to a tiny back road somewhere near Orderville. I tried to give up and head straight to Bryce for the sunset, but the sat nav then decided to take us into Zion first (it took me a while to realise this wasn't a weird short cut - at least we had a free national parks pass by then). So here are a few images from the road while we waited for traffic in the tunnel...</p><div></div>

<p>At least we had nice weather (or at least, more the weather I associate with that area of the country). There were thunderstorms again in the evening, but for the day I was glad of the air con.</p><div></div>

<p>And just to show there were others on the road out of Zion (always when you're in a hurry)...</p><div></div>
