South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
March 2, 2010
In 1862 the Russian author Ivan Turgenev wrote, "A picture shows me at a glance what it takes dozens of pages of a book to expound." The pictures of the Grand Canyon are worthy of dozens and dozens of pages. Depending on what the viewer may be thinking at the time they inhale the immense atmosphere of the Grand Canyon, the subject of these pages can be almost anything and their depth can vary from a simple poem to a treatise on sedimentary geology.
I did not want to over-think the Grand Canyon like a geographer would do. I would rather just take in and enjoy the landscapes as I traveled along the South Rim. I would like you to do the same. Enjoy these landscape visuals from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, west to east.
