Ever looked at the picture you've taken and thought, "Why does this look familiar?" and then you get home and realise that your calendar has the same image?
Well, this was what looking out at the The Grand Canyon made me feel. Of course, it took my breath away. So much so I broke from my family and decided to go trigger-happy with my new camera just to capture a smidge of what I felt. But try as I may, the grandeur of the canyons are not fully cemented in the pixels that you see above.
I'll be honest enough to say that this isn't the best picture, but that's really the point. The Grand Canyon is a must see because no calendar, no counterfeit image could replace the real thing. I look at this image and think, "Wow, and that's not even all of it!"
It's a rare feeling, being gobsmacked. But the only other time I was so confused about the scenery in front of me was when we had our stop over in Utah. I remember thinking, "Why am I in a calendar right now?"
When a site makes you feel or think that way you just know it's a special spot - a great story starter.
Until next time,
