The London Bridge
It’s the London Bridge at Lake Havasu City, Arizona! The City of London, England sold this bridge to the founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The stones from the London Bridge were used to cover the concrete bridge that he built at Lake Havasu for his real estate development. A sign on the bridge says it was opened on October 10, 1971.

Most Expensive Gasoline in 2011
I visited many different gas stations in the western half of the United States this year. This station located near Mono Lake, California was the most expensive, at more than 5 dollars per gallon.

The Navajo Bridge
The bridge on the left-side of this photograph is the Navajo Bridge. The bridge connects the two sides of the Colorado River at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1981. The bridge was built in 1928 and it was never intended to carry the weight of today’s vehicles, so a second bridge was built beside it which is wider and stronger. The center pin that connects the two halves of the new bridge, on the right, was set on October 14, 1994. The Navajo Bridge is now closed to vehicles, it’s used by tourists who can walk across it.

Wild Turkeys at Wind Cave National Park
While I was driving through the Elk Mountain Campground at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, I saw these wild turkeys running though the grass. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots before they disappeared. The wild turkey is not native to the area, they were introduced many years ago—hunting brought the population down to the point where they became threatened nationwide. I’m planning to visit Wind Cave National Park again next year when the weather warms-up.
