There's just no way to truly capture the Grand Canyon with a camera, but I tried my best.
A couple people climbed a ways done from the overlook for their own special view (lower right corner):

More snow around than when we were there late January, early February. You're right, though, no way a camera can truly capture the size and spectacle of the GC.

I'd been saying that since the last time I was there, almost 30 years ago. It was nice to finally make it back. sparker1 wrote: More snow around than when we were there late January, early February. There was a lot of snow and ice on the day I was there. A storm had just blown through during the previous two or three days. The ice made it difficult to walk around some of the overlooks. Most of it had melted away by the end of the day, though. ACDCROCKS wrote: I like the last one the most, it show the sheer siz eof the canon, same with the 1st one I felt the same. I thought the way I cropped it showed the size of the place best. That one will end up getting printed and framed. My name is Lonnie, but I answer to Thomas too.

MaureenSouza Ms. MODERATOR Something Spectacular!  More info | Mar 30, 2006 14:56 | #12 When you first get out of your car and walk to an edge, your jaw hits the ground. It is just spectacular beyond belief.... Love your shots, Lonnie. I have only seen snow there once. Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.
