Created in 1975, Canaveral National Seashore is the most extended area of undeveloped land along the East Coast of Florida and is federally protected. You can experience wildlife, rocket launches, nature, and nude bathing at pier 13 if you're into that kind of thing. Growing up on Florida's space coast, this is a valued treasure with stunning sunrises and lifelong experiences filled with memories. I took these video clips in the past year and hope it gives you insight into the beauty of this natural land and makes you want to preserve it for future generations to come.
The Painted Desert is composed of stratified layers of easily erodible siltstone and mudstone. The gray and red-colored bands across the landform are typical of most geologic features.
The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils, especially fallen trees that lived about 225 million years ago. Most of the logs in the park retained their original external form during petrification.
A large mountain range in southeastern Arizona and northwest Mexico is surrounded by desert grasslands. It is an inactive volcanic range twenty miles wide and forty miles long. The Apaches called this place 'The Land of Standing-Up Rocks."
Sitting on a balcony in the United States looking across Mexico, there were miles of dirt with no sign of greenery and massive mountains that gave unending sceneries with dust devils and uniquely carved-out rock with a peek of color from various cactus flowers.
The dry heat and long hours of the sun beating down and absorbing into the everlasting hues of the desert landscape is worth the nightly cooling of air and scenery. Every evening, the sunset's warm tones vibrate off the desert mountaintops and sandy terrain, amplifying the intensity of the red, orange, and yellow hues. The air begins to cool, and the weather goes from summer to fall within a few hours into the night. The skies are lit across El Paso into Mexico, with millions of lights that mimic the sky's stars.
