To start things off, here's Niagara Falls! Located in the westernmost area of New York, I could see across the river into Canada from there.
That's a lot of output (I could probably still beat it in a dual though! :goofy:)! This is Horseshoe Falls. |
And here's American Falls, on the other side of the island we were on (Called Goat Island.). |
This is from a scenic overlook in Badlands National Park, located in South Dakota (In the middle of nowhere.). An absolutly EPIC place to have a water war, if the park rangers would actually allow it. |
This is Mt. Rushmore, with the faces of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt carved in the stone. Also located in South Dakota. |
This is Devil's Tower National Monument, in northeast Wyoming. Looks like a giant jello blob. *smile* |
The following pictures are from Yellostone N.P. in northwest Wyoming, 7,000 feet above sea level.
This is my personal favorite picture. As you can see, I have modded my 220 to be more powerful than anything else in the field (With a little help from the Old Faithful gyser.). |
One of the many gysers found within the park. |
I believe this is called the Grotto Geyser, one of the more active gysers in the park. |
This is the famous Morning Glory Pool, which used to be a lot prettier, until some stuipd people started throwing trash into it. |
This is the Emerald Pool, one of the more famous pools. |
Another pool, this one is a nice shade of blue. |
The Lower Falls in Yellowstone Canyon. It towers 308 feet above the Yellowstone River below. |
This is a neat rock formation in a section of the park known as Mammoth Hot Springs. |
And another one, also in Mammoth Hot Springs. |
The next 3 images are from Zion N.P. in southwest Utah, about 100 miles from Las Vegas.
This mountain is known as the Watchman. This was taken from our campsite. |
Here we have a spectacular view from Angel's Landing, another mountain that we hiked up. |
And this is the Checkerboard Mesa, on our way out of the park. |
This was taken from a lookout in Bryce Canyon N.P., also in Utah, slightly farther west than Zion. Another incredible place to have a water war. |
This was taken from the other side of the same lookout. |
I visited Arches N.P., but I wasn't able to get any pictures with the 220 in the park so I took a photo of this instead. It's called Wilson Arch, and it's a few miles south of the park. |
This is the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde N.P., located in southwest Colorado. This would be a neat water war spot as well. |
Yep, that's the Grand Canyon. Located in northwest Arizona if you actually didn't know that. It's a mile to the bottom from the top. |
Some giant stumps of petrified wood, at Petrified Forest N.P. in Arizona. |
And finally, here are a ton of Saguaro cacti, in Sagauro N.P., near Tucson Arizona. |
As promised to iSoaker, I took a bunch of pictures of some of the more awesome sights I saw on my trip, with my XP 220. I will post them, now that I'm done going through all the rest of the photos we took (All 1,904 of them. Big job.).
And that's all. That's not all the places I visited; I also went to Kartchner Caverns, AZ, Carlsbad Caverns, NM, and Mammoth Cave, KY. All of those are caves, and not exactly good places to take pictures (In fact, Kartchner doesn't even allow you to take cameras into the cave.), so I didn't get any photos of those places.
If you notice, I didn't take all of these pictures myself. I was sort of experimenting around with different styles. Not all of them turned out great either. And now I have to stop typing, because my stupid computer is acting up, as it always does when I write long posts.
