Natural History Photographs


The first week of our stay in the US we rented a home in Kanab, in the south of Utah. Kanabis rather centrally located with respect to a nice number of national parks. Also the surrounding non-park landscapes turned out to be very beautiful. Kanab thus turned out to be a good home base for our short stay in Utah. The town itself is rather unimpressive, but due to its spacious layout provided a living space for some nice plants and animals.
