Taken on the south rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Colorado River in the distance.


floating this river,
I saw earth's history

Did you get to float??
 
MB, I floated the river a few years ago. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. But I had never seen the canyon from up on the rim. Seeing the view in this photo, I kept thinking of what it looked like from down inside. It is such a different world.
 
Hi! Awesome picture! The canyon is kind of a reverse mountain--I am so oriented to mountains(going up), it is interesting to think in a new way(going down into the earth). IT was kind of fun as the picture was loading, as a band was added, it reflected the layers of the canyon. Have the wildflowers started yet?Celeste from DZWhistle
 
Hi Celeste - glad you like this. No wildflowers yet...it was still quite cold with patches of snow everywhere.
 
lovely in both picture and word
