Travel Journal/Aug08: Making the most with what you have.
(and bringing out the best through a little help from Photoshop…)
August 2008, Grand Canyon, Arizona.
Rain or Shine, we were set to go to the Canyon. Unfortunately, it rained. But it was very interesting to see that amidst the stormy clouds, the sun was still there, peeking. It wasn’t a bad trip after all. Having only 3 ours to explore, and a bit of rain and some dark clouds, we made the most of what time we had, with the weather we had, and I feel blessed that I was still able to capture these photographs inspite of these circumstances.

It was one summer day last August 08 when we were blessed with a bizarre weather – 80% chance that it would be raining in Arizona. We were blessed with rainclouds which made our tour more interesting. As soon as we got off the bus, it started to rain. But Thank God that the rain stopped and the sun started to peek a bit as we walked along the 3-mile overlook of the Canyon.
Solace was indeed what we found when we visited the Grand Canyon. To describe it as grand would be an understatement. Even in a few hours of visit, we were all left in awe with this wonderful creation.

Grand Canyon National Park is one of the United States’ oldest national parks and is located in Arizona. Within the park lies the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, considered to be one of the major natural wonders of the world. The park covers 1,902 mi² (4927 km²) of unincorporated area in Coconino County and Mohave County.
The Grand Canyon itself, including its extensive system of tributary canyons, is valued for the combination of large size, depth, and the exposed layering of colorful rocks dating back to Precambrian times. It was created through the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries after the Colorado Plateau was uplifted and the Colorado River system developed along its present path.
