Publication of the Month: The Wave in VOYAGE (Italy)

Voyage, an Italian travel glossy, emphasized the geological strangeness of the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness in my story In Search of The Wave.

Have a look at the other pages of this publication.

Excerpt of the Month: Beat up the rental!

"What's up?" We explain to the park ranger that we are on our way to Paria Canyon in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area; 65 more bumpy kilometres to go. "Will the road ahead be okay for our car?" He walks around the Sedan, tugging at his beard as he considers the matter. Then he lovingly places his hand on the bonnet. "If it's your own car, don't do it. If it's a rental, beat it up!"


This is an excerpt from In Search of the Wave.

Picture of the Month: Pumpkin soup with sour cream?

The Wave, situated in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area, is one of the most bizarre landscapes in the USA. It looks like a wave of sour cream stirred into pumpkin soup. But it is made of sandstone. (Photo Paul Smit).
