What you see here is a Petrified Log!
Petrified forest is named so because of it's petrified wood!

They are fossils, especially fallen trees dating back to the Late Triassic Period, about 225 million years ago. Click here to know more!

How cool is that? Fossils of trees! Something so ancient laying around all over the place!

The Painted Desert!
A fascinating drive through beautiful scenery! The Petrified Forest and Painted Desert are both accessible on the same route.
The colors of the painted desert are amazing. And the view can change depending on the sun.

Nice pictures and post! I haven't been down to Arizona in a long time. I imagine it is pretty hot down there now. I'm definitely more acclimated to cooler climates now. When we went through the desert near LA my son almost got heat stroke - thats about as far South as he has been.
I remember seeing Carlsbad Caverns in Arizona a long time ago - that was definitely worth it. We went past the Petrified Forest but didn't stop. It looks like a fun place to take photos, I'll put it on my list for next time if I'm ever down that way...
It is a beautiful place! Try to avoid it during summer :)
Carlsbad Caverns looks amazing!

welcome...
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
Great saying!
Yeah
Again, there are no people in it. Are you going to keep spamming this piece of text on every photography post?
@sjennon Its not about people in it, Its a famous quote by Andy Warhol on photography.... you didn't get real meaning of it.
Check out about Andy Warhol
Yes, I know. But there are no people in it. Also your famous quote is kind of spammy if you comment it on 18 different posts with no further relevance.
