The Grand Canyon - Laura Ramey

(Picture courtesy of Me) Another place that I got to go with my family over the summer was the Grand Canyon. It really is a site to see. You fell tiny compared to the massive valleys you can see there. The picture I took was during a rare storm. This was before it hit us standing on the rim, but it was raining so hard, you could see it coming down from about 40 miles away. Every day that we were there, the visibility was about 60-70 miles, it was amazing. Driving though the park, away from the rim, all you can see are scorched trees that are burned to a crisp, but somehow are still standing. Some of them would make amazing photography shots from the way they are bent and twisted from the heat. I can definitely see how the a visit to the Grand Canyon would be a spiritual thing. When you stand on the edge of this massive canyon (yes, you can stand on the very edge... You should have see what some of the "more adventurous" [crazy] people were doing) you can't help but think that there has to be something, some power, bigger than you.
