Arizona – Petrified Forest Landscape
Petrified Forest was set aside as a national monument in 1906 to preserve and protect the petrified wood for its scientific value. It is recognized today for having so much more, including a broad representation of the Late Triassic paleo-ecosystem, significant human history, clear night skies, fragile grasslands ecosystem, and unspoiled scenic vistas.
We have been here before and I stood there for a good bit in Awee. It was so much fun to photograph it. Nice pictures.
Sonya, it is definitely mesmerizing! Thanks.
