From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - The Painted Desert in Petrified Forest National Park and the Navajo Nation, Arizona. Air photo by Doc Searls, 2007
Reason
A wonderfully colorful air photo of the Painted Desert. By memory, this really is what the Painted Desert looks like, out the airliner window, on a clear day (likely after a rain). The speckles on the mesa-top are vegetation, probably dwarf junipers. Amazingly good quality, for shooting through a triple-pane plastic airliner window. This is the best air photo I've seen of the Painted Desert.
