My trip to the Arches National park

My trip to the Arches National Park.


Arches National Park is one of the most famous, and beautiful National Park. Located in Eastern Utah it has the best hiking trails, the most visited and liked is the Delicate Arch. It is 2 mile hike and is steep. Even though I have good stamina, I was tired after the hike, the reason being the elevation of the path. The Delicate Arch was formed due to various natural causes, the major one is erosion. All the rocks here are sand stone, the whole place was covered with salt and then with more sand. These rocks are not just made of sand they also contain clay, this is what gives it this brownish colour, and holds it together.





The salt and the mixture of sand and clay was pushed up due to the move meant of the plates. Later on these rocks were carved into caves, and later into arches only due to acid rain and the wind. The acid rain caused the rocks weathered and the wind gave it this smooth texture. When climbing up to the arches you must carry water and you must mind your step as it is slippery in certain areas. With this in mind it is a lovely place to visit especially during sunset.





While walking down I remember having a lot of fun especially in making a face using my cap, some stones and my sunglasses. It was an awesome experience that I had.

Born from Imagination: The Story of the Ferrari 3Z Spider

Those who have seen or heard of this Ferrari would have the statement or expression as “oh that Ferrari” or “is that even a Ferrari”. Which Ferrari am I talking about, you ask? It's none other than the Ferrari 3Z Spider concept, designed by Carrozzeria Zagato and shown first at the 1971 Turin motor show.  About the design and the car Luigi Chinetti The car was under Luigi Chinetti's commission, the design is distinctive from other custom body Ferrari’s.

Welcome back Supra

The Toyota Supra like all the other Japanese sports cars was a tuners dream, when launched it competed with the Nissan GTR’s Mazda RX-7, and Honda NSX. This blog is written to address the issue of how we are left with only one true Japanese sports car that has stuck to its grass roots, that is the Nissan GTR, the R35 is still the supercar beater that it always was but with a slightly higher price tag. The motive of this essay is to convey my thoughts on how Toyota killed the Supra yet it is re-born as a fierce samurai fighter who was raised in Germany. About the Supra The fighter was born as regular old sports car with low horse power, and highly reliable engine. The car starts its journey 40 years back in 1979 as the Celica Supra, the middle name a reference to its shared chassis with Toyota’s smaller Celica sports coupe.   Later in the 80’s the two models split the celiac was the smaller sports car but the more success full car was the supra. ...
