"The many views of 8 short hrs in the Grand Canyon" Grand Canyon National Park Travelogue by Callavetta

The Grandness is too much to photograph

I'm using this travelogue as a place to put some of my photos. The Canyon is just so vast that it's impossible to capture it adequately in a photo. In just 8 short hours, we watched the sky go from a perfect blue to a thunderstorm. Watching the lightning bolts stright the rim on the other side of the canyon was remarkable. And again, impossible to capture in photos. Alas.

Hues, shadows and ridges

The Colorado river seems like a mere trickle

Buildings help create some idea of size

The storm comes in
