Williams – Page

Day 5: from Williams (AZ) to Page (AZ).

Enjoying the rain

And then you decide to go to the western United States to spend a few sunny days. Wrong! Last time we were in Williams, it was cloudy because of a forest fire. This time it as cloudy because it was raining. Ah well, the Kaibab National Forest is a great place to enjoy the rain. It’s very peacefull, except for a train every once and a while. Time to take out the zoom lens and camera protection, and just enjoy not getting wet.

Pause the show

“After rain comes sunshine”, we say in Dutch. I’m guessing it’s a proverb that makes some sense in English too. By the time we got back to the car, the asphalt was dry enough to lie down and make a photo of the level crossing.
This trains was the last one we photographed this day. Williams is located close to the Grand Canyon, so we took the oppourtunity for a visit. In the evening we were meeting up with some people in Page, so the Canyon was not even a detour.
When out on the road making photos during all awake hours, visiting a landmark is a welcome break.
