I made my first solo trip to the Grand Canyon August 2,3 & 4 of 2007. What an experience! I believe the grandeur is even more magnificent when one is alone. If there is nobody there to disturb you, your thoughts are yours alone. It is hard to imagine, even when you are standing on the edge, that this is not a movie set that you have wandered into. I did not take any kind of ipod (or such) with me so the solitude was almost deafening at times. When sunset came near and the wind died down as it usually does and the air cools, the silence was even more obvious as the sounds of the birds and other creatures became that much more vivid. It became quite evident that through these eyes a little piece of heaven could be glimpsed. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing.
