"Motorcycling Around The Southwest" (LiveVideo Version)
I just wanted to share a few of the many hundreds of photos of "Mother Nature's Work" that I've taken while wandering around the Southwest on my motorcycles over the years . . . the photos show such places as Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Death Valley National Park.
The music I chose for this video is the song "Invisible Friend", by a really talented Norwegian singer Christine Guldbrandsen, that almost nobody has heard of in the USA (we miss out on some BEAUTIFUL music over here!!; thankfully I’ve got great friends who can get it for me (you know who you are! LOL)) . . . maybe I’m kinda prejudiced because I’m half Norwegian, but I think a lot of Nordic and other Northern European music has a unique feel of antiquity, grandeur, vitality, and a hard-to-describe “haunted” quality to it, that evokes images of vast fjords, ancient castles, vistas that “go on forever”, etc., so to me at least, this type of music seems to go really well with these photos of “Mother Nature’s creations”, that were carved out long, long, long, long before mankind ever stepped foot on this continent . . .

Stonehenge Stone Circle
The great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge in Wiltshire is one of the wonders of the world. What visitors see today are the substantial remnants of the last in a sequence of such monuments erected between circa 3000BC and 1600BC. Stonehenge and Avebury were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1986.

"Pinnacles National Monument, California"
Here’s info from the Pinnacles National Monument website (http://www.nps.gov/pinn)
Rising out of the chaparral-covered Gabilan Mountains, east of central California's Salinas Valley, are the spectacular remains of an ancient volcano. Massive monoliths, spires, sheer-walled canyons and talus passages define millions of years of erosion, faulting and tectonic plate movement.
Rhyolitic breccia is the rock that the High Peaks and other rock formations at Pinnacles are made of. Rhyolite breccia is composed of lava sand, ash, and angular chunks of rock that were explosively ejected from the Pinnacles Volcano.
The park, in Central California, is a release site for the endangered California condor, and the birds can sometimes be seen from hiking trails throughout the park.

The hiking path shown on this video ascends around 1,500 feet and is about a 7 mile “loop” that starts from the east side of the park, goes thru’ the Balconies Caves (shown on my last video) and then climbs over the summit and then back down . . . and OH! you REALLY don’t wanna attempt this trail at the height of the summer heat, unless you’re a masochist, or training for running ultramarathons like I used to do all the time . . . which can ALSO be grouped under the category of “masochist”! LOL
The song is the great Jimi Hendrix reggae version of “Stairway to Heaven”. I’ve never thought of reggae as bein’ a “mellow” type of music, but THIS song sure is!

"Balconies Caves at Pinnacles National Monument"
I LOVE spelunking!! . . . here’s a video of the Balconies Caves at Pinnacles National Monument in Central California that my friend and I explored recently!
The song is “Say It Right” by Nelly Furtado. . . the haunting quality of the song and the “day and night” type lyrics seem to fit pretty well with the video footage . . .
