This is my third visit to this magnificent wonder and I am just as awe-struck as I was the first time... and the second. It's size is uncomprehendable and it's depth seems immeasurable.
Eight million years in the making... slowly carved by wind and water...
It is surreal... seemingly unreal... I swear it is a painting.... I literally reach out to touch it... my hand passes unobstructed through the air...
I could take a million pictures... from all angles... in all weathers... at all times of day... and I could never convey it's grandness, it's expanse, it's presence....
The walls of the canyon are rough... trees and shrubs fighting to take root...
Nature plays with our minds... creating shapes and formations familiar to us....
Clouds pass overhead casting shadows into the canyon... threatening rain... more erosion.... It isn't the same place it was when I first visited in 1991, it won't be the same place if I should come again....
The Grand Canyon is a place you have to visit to absolutely appreciate... Go! :)
