Photo of the Day!
Here is another picture from my afternoon trip up Snow Basin on Sunday. I absolutely love the colors autumn offers in this picture. It’s one of the main reasons why I love fall – the colors are just incredible.
If it wasn’t for the cold, I believe I would’ve stood there longer than 5 minutes.

Which Ways to Snow Basin?
After completing my household tasks yesterday, I drove up to Snow Basin Ski Resort (about 30 minutes away) with every intention of doing one last hike before winter sets in. Continue reading “Which Ways to Snow Basin?”
A Photo a Week Challenge: Gilded
To be honest, I did not think I can come up with pictures for this topic but then, I started looking into my archive and saw these pictures from my trip to Macau earlier this year where I visited a very fancy hotel with lots priceless statues and valuables. Immediately thought of this photo challenge. Here is my selection for this week’s topic of Gilded. Enjoy!

A Photo a Week Challenge: From the Back
Here is a picture of a duck I took a few weeks ago when I went to Silver Lake. It was interesting just sitting there in the middle of the lake watching ducks swim. I never knew ducks swam the doggy paddle with their feet. There were two ducks that swam very close to me and I got to take some portraits of them, which I will be sharing in later posts.
It was a fun trip and I hope to take another fun day trip this month since I now have my own car. I just have to decide the place.
Then, here is a self-portrait of me walking away from my camera. It was shot during my solo-road-trip to Capitol Reef National Park. I took quite a few of self-portraits during my hike of the Grand Wash Trail because otherwise, how will I get people to believe me when I say I’ve been to Capitol Reef National Park?
Anyway, I thought it’d be fun to do one where I’m walking. So I parked the camera on my trusty tripod, set a timer for 10 seconds, and just walked.

Which Ways in Capitol Reef?
I was quite saddened when I found out Cee decided to discontinue the Which Way Challenge as it is one of my favorite photo challenges even though I haven’t participated in a few weeks. It was why I took only a few which way photos when I went on my road trip last week. Continue reading “Which Ways in Capitol Reef?”

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Lift
Lift can mean a lot of things from a strong man lifting 100 pounds over his head to a simple car ride. For me, the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this topic was the incredibly long cable car ride up Tianmen Mountain and I had the opportunity to be on this ride when I visited Hunan, China in 2017.
The cable car ride was incredibly long – almost 30 minutes. According to Wikipedia, this is the longest cable car in the world with a total length of 24,459 feet (7,455 meters) and 98 cars.
We started in the heart of the city. When I arrived at the station, I remember thinking, where’s the mountain? As I stood in line, I kept staring at the TV, watching a video playing on repeat introducing the breathtaking landscapes of the Tianmen Mountain, feeling disbelief while another part of me was eager to see if all of this was true.
Seriously? This cable car can transport me there?
I thought the city was big but in the cable car, we flew by the city and it seemed like in a blink of an eye, the city disappeared and we were in the mountain. Well, the video didn’t mention the scenery would be changing so quickly. Inside, my disbelief had completely vanished.
As we passed these houses and farming communities, I wondered how these folks get their supplies like toiletry and other hygiene supplies when they are in the middle of the mountain.
When there are people, there bound to be water, right? Well, here’s a reservoir.
As we soared upward, I began to get very dizzy and nauseous, especially when looking upward. Therefore, my aunt and I decided to switch places but it didn’t help at all. If anything, it was worse looking down. In another thought, I can see the city.
So I decided to stand up. Not a good idea to stand in a cable car, by the way, even if you’re small like me. It made me want to throw up even more. It was best to remain seated and enjoy the transitional landscapes of the 30 minutes cable car lift.
At last I can see the top and the end of this journey.

Standing beneath Waterfall Canyon’s 40-foot waterfall is the thing I want to do at this moment as I’m writing this post in my room which even with two fans on and the window open, it is still unable to cool down from the day’s 90-some-degrees heat. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!”
