Grand Canyon 1

Grand Canyon 1

This photo shows the different colours in the rock formations of the Grand Canyon. The following is a little bit of information about the canyon, in general.

The Grand Canyon is a, colorful, steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States.

The Canyon was largely unexplored until after the U.S. Civil War. In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell, made the first recorded journey through the canyon on the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world’s premier natural attractions, attracting about five million visitors per year.

Thanks for looking in Precious. Yes, I've been there twice and would definitely like to go back again, as I still don't have enough shots of this wondrous place! If you have an opportunity, GO, you won't regret it. :)

Thanks for your comment Art57. I totally agree with what you say and I hope it won't be too long before I get the opportunity to make another visit. :)

Great shot. It's amazing the different views and formations contained in that park. You could spend a lifetime there photographing it all.

Thank you, Brian and Alan, for looking at this photo.

Yes, Brian, I guess they do look like a couple of toadstools perched on the top of the rock.

Thanks for your comment Alan. Yes, I really liked the contrasting colours at this part of the canyon. I've been there twice now and would never tire of the amazing views and enormity of it all. :)

Stunning shot, Jas. And it's good to see a slightly different Grand Canyon shot. The contrast in rock colour between the two sides of the canyon is striking and beautifully caught in this image.

Thanks for your comments, Whittler 113, Lorraine and Chriss.

We have nothing quite like it in England either; it really is breath-taking to see.
