Chapter 14 12 Monuments to the Gods Grand Valley

One of the purposes of my trip is to find "the world's number one".Regardless of natural scenery or ruins, I hope to meet the best things in the world when traveling around the world.As for what is the number one in the world?It's up to me to decide. It has been half a year since I embarked on the journey, but as far as the whole process is concerned, this has just entered the opening battle, but I have encountered incredible wonders early on. My mind went blank when it popped into view.In front of him was a land as vast as the sea, and only three huge red rocks stood out of it. They were called strange rocks, which were formed by the erosion of the earth.

This is the "Monument Valley", a sacred place for the Navajo Indians in Arizona, USA.Although often seen in Westerns or Marlboro cigarette commercials, the impression is completely different when witnessed.The strange rock is as huge as a hill, full of a strange sense of existence.Honestly, it looks like it's alive.The Navajo people firmly believe that this is the place where the gods live. Seeing such a landscape, they will naturally understand how they feel. In order to fully enjoy the fun of overlooking from a high place, I specially boarded a high platform to have a panoramic view of the entire valley, and at the nearest

Camping on the edge of the cliff, whether you are cooking or eating, you can be intoxicated by the mysterious landscape in front of you. the next morning. It was already light outside the tent, and I opened my eyes. "Okay, let's go!" I got out of the sleeping bag and opened the zipper of the tent exit. For a moment, white light pierced my eyes like countless flying arrows. ?#91; With my eyes, I saw three huge strange rocks emerging like silhouettes in the torrent of light, and the light behind the rocks quietly shot out. The field was overwhelmed by this sacred scenery and could not move.

"?????? Ah, no, let's stay another night!" I got into my sleeping bag again and lay across in the tent, staring blankly at the huge rocky mountain. In the morning, I climbed down the valley and took a walk around the neighborhood. In addition to the three strange rocks in the valley, there are also many places worth seeing. There are various strange-shaped rocks everywhere on the ground, like many huge installations of art scattered around.In this world that can be described as isolated from the world, I wander around like a sleepwalker?????? In the evening, I went back to the cliff on the high platform, sat by the tent and started sketching.

As the sun goes down, the strange rocks change color as time goes by, really like living things.When the sun disappears beyond the horizon At the end, shadows cover the earth, only three strange rocks are bathed in the final spotlight, the red rocks radiate orange like blazing fire. color brilliance.Why do mere rocks glow?I find it incredible. The shadow of the earth slowly climbed up, as if it was going to gradually dye the waist of the strange rock, and finally stopped at the middle of the strange rock, the shadow on the shadow The square is a piece of pink, and the upper and lower sides are clearly divided into two different tones.This state lasted for a while, like a candle being extinguished, and slowly, the entire rocky mountain turned into a shadow.And my hand holding the colored pencils stopped at some point.

I can't help thinking. There are still many places in this "world" worth exploring?????? In this day and age, there should be no corner of the world that has not been photographed by television cameras. It seems that there is no place suitable for exploration or adventure.At least, this is true within the reach of ordinary people. However, the world is still full of unknown things.how to say?Even if it is a tourist attraction that has been contaminated by tourists for a long time, or a place that has been broadcast countless times on TV, as long as you have not experienced it yourself, it is an undeveloped "virgin land".If you don't witness it with your own eyes, it will always be an unknown area for yourself!

For me at this moment, the world is full of mysteries, and it is endlessly vast, full of "virgin land".I want to start admiring from one of the corners, and this is a journey to find the world's number one with my own legs!My sense of adventure is getting higher and higher. On the contrary, if I came to the Monument Valley by car, I would never be moved by "finally arrived", right?In other words, this kind of travel may be said to be to regain the pleasure of "adventure" that has gradually disappeared due to the development of civilization. It was the next morning again.

It was already bright outside the tent, and I opened my eyes.In any case, we must start today.I stayed here for two consecutive nights, and I have been admiring the rocky mountains. I have no regrets, and thinking that Central America will enter the rainy season next, there is not much time left. "Okay, let's go!" I opened the tent with all my might, and in front of my eyes was the blood-red morning glow, and a huge silhouette of a strange rock appeared in the morning sky, and I was immediately shocked again. "?????? Again, stay one more night." I hid in the sleeping bag again, lying across the tent, staring at the fetal movement on the ground.Walking in the valley during the day, and returning to the high platform to enjoy the sunset performance in the evening, it turned out that I was also admiring the strange rocks all day.

It was the next morning again.I made up my mind that I must set off today anyway, quickly opened the tent, and was once again captured by the spectacle in front of me. "?????? Stay one more night." As a result, I camped here for a total of four nights, facing bare rock all day. Maybe I was a Navajo in a previous life?I kind of seriously think about it.Because even me, an atheist, is starting to believe like them that the gods really live here??????
