Description
As I mentioned in my last posting, my mission here, in New Hampshire, is done. Saturday morning, we start our trek back to Florida. I will be posting more photos of the Grand Canyon during the trip but will most likely not be commenting very much. I will catch up with all of you, as soon as my Florida Internet is restored.
This shot is from the south rim and the canyon runs right to left (the dark area). Zoom and you will see, just a tiny look, of the Colorado River (bottom center). Just as an FYI – the Grand Canyon, originally called the Granite Canyon, is 277 miles (446km) long, between 4 and 18 miles (6.4 to 29km) wide and, on average 6,000 feet (1.83km) deep.
This starts my third year on RR so I've changed my avatar. The last two years have been a joy and I have met so many wonderful people. Thank you all.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.
Dana

Cool shot, Dana! Have a safe trip back. Have a great Thanksgiving as well
would hate to slip and fall, the would never find your body, great looking view dana.
Another fine view. Like the avatar too!
Good return in Florida! Awesome scenery!
impressive vista
Wonderful shot Dana. Hey, I like your new 'avatar', what a handsome chap he is!!!!
Yes, and how suave you look!! !
Most stunning scenery! Great! ;o)
First off, let me say that when I first saw your avatar (last night, but I couldn't comment) I thought...WOW! Who's that dangerously talented concert violinist/pianist/cellist? That's one impressive avatar/icon! The fact it made me think of a musician/composer is high praise coming from a music-lover like me. And to top it off, you've presented some really amazingly great works to go with it. Okay, that's not a big surprise for me...I mean, just look at your gallery, its more than just "pretty pictures" and so it's not a surprise that your avatar/icon would show something of the mind behind the photos like this one. And WOW! What a scene. I love the frikkin' amazing range of colors and reflection/absorption levels; this photograph a dream for geologists (or geology loving science fiction writers...just picture me sitting here, drooling and going: "WOW! Willya look at those strata!!! Holy cow, there are--what?--at least five different light refraction indexes in this one picture! Holy cow! I'll bet there are all sorts of interesting crystalline substrates and downright gorgeous weathering patterns," and I love the way you've captured it. This rocks...okay...that's a potentially horrendous pun, but there you have it. Now, I'm gonna take a deep breath, a rest, and a bit later (when I'm sufficiently coherent) I'll comment on another of your recent posts I've missed.
beautiful!
I'm thinking you must have stock in digital photography...lol..Excellent Capture Dana! What a difference a new Avatar Makes..Looks good Buddy! -=Will=-
Another amazing vista! One of these days I really must go there...!
Wonderful view and a great capture! Like the new Avatar Dana! ;)
What a wonderful photo, view, textures and colors, Dana!
Another winner from your superb portfolio of awesome Grand Canyon pics, Dana.
This place never ceases to amaze me, all those lovely colours in the rock, beautiful. I can see from your avatar, you had been somewhere posh :o) Safe journey.
Hi Dana! Love the pics of the Grand Canyon...haven't been to see this one, but we have seen the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific' on Kauai while on our honeymoon. Spectacular sight! I was hoping that you and your wife and Mike and I would be able to meet up sometime before you headed back south...but perhaps next year! Time just flies SOOO quickly! Hope you both have a safe trip and enjoy the warmth in Florida!!!
A beautiful capture of the Grand Canyon and I hope you have a good trip back to Florida.
photos do not do this place well as it so big. Hope you got to walk inside a volcano call Red mountian as it on the way to Flagstaff from this place. it just a mile walk from the road which have a little sign and a parking area . If you blick you missed it. oh well maybe next time. It have a wonder just as the Grand Canyon have but differ
