The raven chief was paddling so quickly, his canoe struck the second great mountain of stone. The raven chief was thrown onto the rocks, where he changed instantly into a raven and flapped to the top of the mountain. Exhausted, Yahoo fell asleep.
There was a second tremendous wave of water, even greater than the first. Yahoo used all his medicine to turn this wave into a tremendous mountain of stone. When the great spear hit the top of the mountain, there was a crash of breaking rock, and the great spear flew off into the sky.

The raven chief is preparing to kill you!"
Yahoo began to paddle away with the young woman. The raven chief was right behind him. The raven chief caused a great storm. The water became very rough. Yahoo took out a powerful stone and threw it ahead of him, calming the waters,

I didn’t have a lot of time for photography on my recent trip to the California coast, but I did get this one at Painters Point - Garrapata State Park near Big Sur. #landscapephotography #photography #california #bigsur

Thanks!
Thanks!
I was lucky to visit a very quiet Capitol Reef National Park in January 2024. I was able to have the gorge all to myself for quite a while in the morning. It was quite cold despite the warm sun on the gorge walls.
