Dear friend Mr. Han,
you have done a great job with the USA fotos and Morricone.
By the way he celebrated hie 80 th birthday - he seems
to be very fit and in an interview in my favorit radio
station Classic Radio, he said that he will continue
to compose for as long as he is alive. I truly hope
so, he is the greatest film music composer alive !!!....

Mr. Chilian said in an E-mail: "attached

north to Mt. Rushmore, than west to Yellowstone NP, south
to Salt Lake City to Grand Canyon. From there we drove east
along all the canyons back to Denver."

For the
sake of more clearly understand this route , I made
a new map by way of Yahoo site below: Red is route of
the trip, white frame and blue line are main landscapes. |

Mr. Chilian sent total 102
photos, every file's size is about 5M and 8 million PX. The size is
too much for web page, so we have to select 65 photos and properly
compress them, but still more than 2 million PX. You can click every
photo for see bigger photo. Mr. Chilian also wrote explanation for
every photo. We added some note in some photos so that you could understand

Note:
Bad Lands NP
Badlands are a type of arid terrain where
softer sedimentary rocks and clay-rich soils have been extensively
eroded by wind and water. It can resemble malpaís, a terrain
of volcanic rocks. Canyons, ravines, gullies, hoodoos and
other such geological forms are common in badlands. They
are often difficult to navigate by foot. Badlands often
have a spectacular colour display that alternates from dark
black/blue coal stria to bright clays to red scoria.
Features
The term "badlands" represents a consensus in
North America: the Lakota called the topography "Makhó?i?a",
literally bad land, while French trappers called it "les
mauvaises terres à traverser" – "the bad lands
to cross". The Spanish called it tierra baldía ("waste
land") and cárcava. The term badlands is also apt:
badlands contain steep slopes, loose dry soil, slick clay,
and deep sand, all of which impede travel and other uses.
Badlands form in arid regions with infrequent but intense
rain-showers, sparse vegetation, and soft sediments: a recipe
for massive erosion.
Some of the most famous fossil beds are
found in badlands, where erosion rapidly exposes the sedimentary
layers and the scant cover of vegetation makes surveying
and fossil hunting relatively easy.(See

Note:
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, near Keystone, South Dakota,
is a monumental granite sculpture by Gutzon Borglum (1867–1941),
located within the United States Presidential Memorial that
represents the first 150 years of the history of the United
States of America with 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads
of former United States presidents (left to right): George
Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore
Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865).[1]
The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres (5.17 km2)[2] and
is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.[3] It is managed
by the National Park Service, a bureau of the United States
Department of the Interior. The memorial attracts approximately
two million people annually (See here)
