There is no place like the Grand Canyon. It is such an intricate and precious piece of earth art that I never get tired of the view, and I cherish every chance to visit, every opportunity to hike in its depths. So much geology is laid bare in this place: the rocks exposed in the canyon walls, the existence of the canyon itself, the myriad caverns that grace some of the limestone layers. It's a virtual candy store for geologists.

I love your picture-a-day scheme! Gives me something to think about as I incorporate "fixes" for the "errors" (that no one in the field would recognize as such) that Graduate Studies has found in my MS geology thesis. Easier to fix than argue. Readers who understand the science will cope.
Ah....a familiar view. Looks like you were hiking the Transept Trail.
