The Grand Canyon. 

Words alone cannot describe the magnificent vistas of the Grand Canyon.

It's impossible to describe the breathtaking view as you emerge from the lightly wooded plain that conceals its grandeur, to gain your first sight of its rim.

Ten miles distant the other rim visible and lightly veiled in the morning haze, the sun casting long shadows from the temples of rock that rise from the canyon depths.

The chasms and fissures, rippling down to the canyon floor where the spume and foam of the surging Colorado river ,as it cuts through the rock, catch the light offering a glimpse of its power as it falls 14,000 feet from the Rockies down to the gulf of California.

Despite having watched the IMAX presentation last evening and having been numbed by the variety and quantity of Canyon pictures present in every cafe, hotel and gift shop in the area, the reality of the Grand Canyon as you gaze upon it cannot be captured by mere technology.

The Canyon is simply only observable up close and personal, anything else is a cipher of its physicality and wonder.

Nothing more to be said only 'Sorry', these pictures do not do it justice, you'll have to make time and come and see it for yourself!
