Fabulous photos, makes you want to visit every one of the places.
I have recently been watching re-runs of "Stephen Fry's America where he travelled to every state in the U.S.A in his London taxi cab. meeting some fascinating people including native Americans, blues singers etc. His journeys showed us a part of the U.S.A. that many of us on this side of the pond know little or nothing about. His episode where he visited Arizona showing its desert like scenery with all those massive buttes etc. was really interesting as was his journey on Lake Powell, the largest man made body of water in the world where nature has yet to establish itself along its shores and in its waters.

Re: 25 photos of US National Parks
Excellent photos,
I have been to several of those places. Into the Ice Caves up Mount Rainier in Washington State above Seattle, Crater Lake, Oregon, climbed Mount St. Helens after it blew in 1980. Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon in Utah, and many more , including Monument Valley, all fantastic. and well worth a visit.
also many many of those in Australia, too numerous to mention.
It is a fantastic world, only ruined by mad people.
