Canyon de Chelly


Here's the last shot I'll share from our roadtrip; we made a stop at the Canyon de Chelly, just outside of Chinle on the Navajo Reservation - incredible place, worth the trip - I'd love to go down inside it, but you need to pay a tribal guide to do it, and we just didn't have the time;

My three favorite daily photos for today are:

Willits, California

New York, New York .... hmmmm

Hogan


All over the Navajo Nation, you see these little round houses, called hogans; they used to be used as the main residence, but now are typically used for ceremonial reasons; this one was on the grounds of the Hubbell Trading Post

Navajo land


We stopped at the Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado on the Navojo Reservation; the trading post is the oldest continuously operating post on the reservation; as soon as we arrived, two Navajo boys raced in on their horses and went inside to purchase lunch, I suppose - I wasn't quick enough with my camera to catch them coming in our leaving - they were pretty fast and I was pretty loaded down with kids and stuff; so, this is the best shot I got - notice there are no saddles. The boys rode them effortlessly - it was fun to watch
