New photo Galleries now available from a road trip around southwest United States of America (USA) to California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada.
In May 2023 I was fortunate to experience a fantastic road trip around Southwest USA with my wife Helen. The trip included four states - California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, and iconic National Parks such as the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Death Valley and Yosemite amongst others.
I have now prepared Galleries including many photos of the trip, including cityscapes, landscapes and wildlife which can be found in this link to the North America Main Gallery.
The Galleries are arranged as follows (Please click on the title link to go to the Gallery):
